Hi Stephanie
I am 38 and the same thing happened to me last year. No 'AF' for 3 months and I was not pregnant either, nor on the pill. I am otherwise really regular. I went to see my doc and she said 'I don't think you ovulated' and she said I could either wait and see or she could prescribe a hormone supplement to take over a period of a few days to 'jump start' my cycle. It wasn't the pill though. There were a few potential side effects if I recall, so I opted to wait and I eventually had a period about a week later. But I also have to say that I think a large part of why I missed my period was because of stress. Are you otherwise regular? It might be something to think about. I am not sure why your doc is hesitant to do hormone checks; its a simple blood test as far as I know and it might give some answers...?
Anyway, as far as the holistic approach goes, I would DEFINITELY look into that. I am currently seeing an acupuncturist for a few issues, including fertility. She is a fertility specialist and also a nutritionist. I can't recommend her highly enough. I have a couple of other friends who see/have seen her and they love her too. Her name is Laurie Morse. www.lauriemorse.com She is located on Jutland Ave, near to the Costco on Morena Blvd (Bay Park/Bay Ho area). Please tell her I sent you if you go see her. She is AWESOME. I feel better than I have in YEARS. BTW, I live in Serra Mesa too. If you want to talk more please let me know! I love meeting new families in my neighborhood.
Best of luck! -Suzanne
