Hi Darla, Have you ever had a full-term pregnancy? I've had two
miscarriages, and that is just how I would describe a miscarriage. Your
post was yesterday, so maybe try a home pregnancy test?? Your hormones
should still be detected in your urine if it was a pregnancy. I
understand that endometrial hyperplasia is not necessarily painful
(except during your period)...so maybe you are having a recurrence of
the hyperplasia? Either way, maybe you should make an appointment for an
ultrasound to evaluate your endometrium. Good luck, Anon
