postmenopausal spotting

I'm 58 years old and I'm 3 years past menopause...I was on estradiol and provera on and off for about 1 and 1/2 years until last March. I stopped because of breakthrough bleeding...an endometrial biopsy showed nothing, and the ultra sound showed a 3mm stripe. This last October I spotted again, but very lightly, they did another endometrial biopsy... the result said the speciman was not sufficient for evaluation (the doctor's resident (intern) did the procedure). I have spotted twice in the past two weeks, by spotting I mean just a drop or two. Is it possible that the intern did not take enough tissue? And what could be the cause of of such unpredictable spotting? Is it possible I have too little estrogen? Any thing you have to say on this would help put my mind at ease.
