Given the information you provided, there are two possible reasons that you have not tested yet. A possible hormone imbalance can be detected with laboratory hormone tests. A dysfunctional thyroid gland can also cause abnormal uterine bleeding.
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) can contribute both as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Sometimes abnormal bleeding stops after Dilation and Curettage without determining the reason. Dilation and Curettage can cause scaring on the uterus, that might cause problems when conceiving in women in gestational period.
