Hyperplasia

3 years ago I was diagnosed with simple and complex hyperplasia without atypia. Dr. put me on Provera which I suffered through for 18 months until I quit cold turkey. Went to a naturopath who had me on supplements and things were not too bad until this past April when I started on a two month period of heavy bleeding and clots and ended up extremely anaemic.

Had an ultrasound while still bleeding and showed thickness of 1.4cm. Went to an integrative MD who put me on 75mg progesterone cream twice daily and bleeding stopped within 48 hours. Have since had one period which was heavy but without clots and lasted a more manageable six days. Had an ultrasound last week and lining in now 6mm but gynecologist still recommends hysteroscopy and D&C.This has me really nervous.

Is it necessary? Does the fact that the cream stopped the bleeding indicate a benign process of hormone imbalance which can be corrected with continued use of progesterone? Any thoughts to put my mind at ease would be most appreciated. Thanks.
