Jackie, if gynecologists have not been able to answer your questions, the appropriate next step would be to have a full work-up with an endocrinologist.  They are the experts in complicated hormone issues...including thyroid, adrenal and ovarian, any or all of which could be involved in your period issues.

Good luck to you.
