DesFIP, that's what most MDs with a bit of a clue will say, that you know your own body and changes...

As for thyroid and endos, not that easy, what might be the norm for most people might not be alright for you and can cause depressions, period problems from such severe cramps that you are fainting to cysts and all other sorts of nice stuff, the docs have scales of what is "acceptable" with most people, if by some sort of weird accident of birth you might produce enough tyroid hormones but your body can't proceed with them, you fall through and you do need to poke and prod the docs to have a closer look, that is where self diagnosis comes in.
