To think that "a few months" is a long wait

Hoping everyone can offer some perspective on this because my mind is running away with me and I'm getting myself into such a state.
I'm currently on the Rigevidon pill. Ive been on it for around 7 years and was on microgynon for around 7 years before that and I have 3 weeks of taking the pill and a weeks break which is when I usually have my period. My periods are pretty regular, give or take a day. Ive only ever missed one completely before when I was poorly with a chest infection.
I've missed 2 in a row now, and have taken 2 pregnancy tests (one on the first missed period and one on the second) both have been negative. But it is so unusual for me to miss one let alone too, I called the DR and asked them to refer me for a blood test to make sure I wasn't pregnant. Ive just spoken to him this morning and he's said to keep doing home tests and he'll leave it for a few months before he does a blood test. This is despite me telling him how unusual it is for me to miss periods, and I was concerned that I was pregnant and was really worried incase the tests were wrong. He just dismissed my concerns and said to call again in a few months.

AIBU to be angry at this? Just to confirm I dont want to be pregnant, I don't want kids and I'm pretty sure I'd be a terrible parent & wouldn't be able to cope. I feel like leaving it " a few months" is a terrible idea and just means I'm going to torture myself worrying (I suffer from an anxiety disorder anyway). Also doesn't help that my friend had a ton of negative tests and doctors dismissing her and didn't find out until she was 5 months gone. They kept telling her she had a hernia. But then I don't know if I'm massively over reacting here and this is standard? Ive never been through anything like this before. I'm driving myself crazy worrying about it. Any advice welcome.
