Abnormal Bleeding

I have been bleeding for almost 3 weeks. After the normal duration of my period, I have continued to bleed. My doctor prescribed Provera and I just ended a 10 prescription of 10mg/day. The bleeding lessened, but did not go away. I have no clotting and without a tampon, I don't think I would even know there was bleeding. My doctor beleives that this is stress induced and will resolve with the Provera. If not, he wants to do a D&C. I have a few of questions:

1- The bleeding is less, but shouldn't it have stopped with the Provera?

2- Does the fact that the bleeding is less after taking the Provera mean that we are on the right track?

3- Does "no clotting" mean something more significant?

4- I am 41 years old. What types of things (illnesses) are associated with abnormal bleeding?

Thanks for your help.
