Here is some background, for those interested. (Again, men, you don't have to read if women issues make you squeamish).
I have all but 2 symptoms of Polycystic ovary syndrome. Also, my ovaries are actually health looking - no cysts in sight of my ovaries for miles. Which has not only confused my current gyno (but my gyno before him) and my GP (general practitioner) doctor.
However, since February 2004, I have not had a visit from "Aunt Flo". My gyno has put me on a low estrogen form of birth control (Yaz) and has told me not to worry as things like this sometimes happen. I have gained over 50 pounds in about 2 1/2 years, but I have maintained my weight (being within 5 pounds +/-) for the past 6 months.
end the background stuff
For the past 2 months, I have been having what seems to be, Aunt Flo saying "hello" to me. In plain English, I've been getting pains in my sides (on my left last month & my right this month) that used to signal I'd be getting my visit in about a week. I've been getting cramps (mild compared to what I used to get) but they are more constant than before. I've had the nauseous feeling I usually get when I've got my visit. I've even gotten the PMS. Also, and this is important, I have no desire to be touched (by anyone, not just my husband). And I don't mean, I don't want people touching me, I mean I want absolutely no one and nothing touching me (i.e., if I could go about naked for a week, I would because anything touching my skin makes my cramps, naseau, and PMS even worse).
The question I have, and I know this might be silly sounding, is this: should I call my gyno and tell him what has been happening for the past 2 months? Or should I wait until my next appointment - which won't be until the end of July?
It's making me nervous, because since I haven't had a visit in so long, I'm afraid the "dam" will burst and everything will gush out at once. (Not that it's a possibility, but I do have an overactive imagination).

. I had Auntie Flo visits almost every day for more than 2 years and no one could find an answer, but they manifest in other ways including not having a period.
