You don't seem confident with this doctor. Perhaps you can see a gynecologist or another doctor and ask that they do a blood test for pregnancy, which should answer that question.Or you can take a home pregnancy test yourself.
If you are not pregnant, you would still need to be examined for the other symptoms to try and find out why they are occurring.
You probably have researched perimenopause already, and it could be happening, here is a good site to read about that, if you haven't.
