Aggravated with doctors (TMI)

I got my period starting last Friday.  It was a lot lighter than normal but still a medium flow (my periods are usually really heavy with lots of clots).  I usually have to change my tampon every 1.5-2 hours.  I cramped just like a normal period (but cramped for a whole week before).  This time around I had absolutely no clots and didn't have to change my tampon much at all.  And when I did it wasn't full (except maybe once and that was after quite a few hours).  I was actually able to use just a pad, which is really unusual for me.  The doctor wants me to come in for a pg test tomorrow morning because I may have had a m/c.  I told her I think my period was different because of the Clomid, Tamoxifen and the Ovidrel I took last cycle.  She still insists I may have had a m/c.  I started taking HPT at 9DPO (2 days after the cramping started) and all were -, meaning chances of an egg implanting were pretty slim to none.  Is it normal for a doctor to assume this and do a pg test?  It irritates me because I know my body and really don't want to have to pay a co-pay just so they can tell me I was right.  I just want to move on to the next cycle instead of beating around the bush.

    I know it's frustrating, but my RE requires a pregnancy test any time you have AF and it's anything not usual at all. I think the doctor is just being careful. GL!

    my RE only makes me confirm BFN  w. b/w if I don't get my period.  So i dunno... sorry this is so frustrating for you.

    It's not so much getting the b/w done that's frustrating to me but she wouldn't listen when I was trying to tell her what was going on.  She just kept insisting that I may have had a m/c.  I would think if I did my flow would have been a lot heavier than it was.  Plus all the HPT's I took were neg.

    my RE makes me come in for b/w even if I've started my period to make sure it wasn't a c/p. gl
