It was almost 3 years for me too. Until I finally asked them to check my levels. They hesitated and said it wasn't necessary. I had gone to 5 different doctors, and i finally pushed my new gynecologist to do it. Well, to their surprise, they found a pituitary tumor. I was angry and thrilled at the same time. Angry that no doctor ever listened to me and were bias just cause I had anorexia nervosa when I was 16. they blamed every time i felt sick on Anorexia--which I had recovered from when I was 17. Every single one of them, nurses too. It wasn't fair. I was thrilled because I finally knew what the problem was--why my weight had been so crazy, why my vision had worsened, why I had constant headaches, and vomitting. Doctors need to put their bias opinions aside and listen to their patients. It's very frustrating and I am still extremely aggravated with the whole thing.
