Hyperplasia is an overgrowth of the lining of the uterus. It's usually
from excessive levels of estrogen which frequently comes when you don't
ovulate. Simple hyperplasia is treated with progesterone for about 3
months and then an endometrial biopsy (an in office sampling of the
lining of the uterus) to confirm that the hyperplasia is gone. In
addition, some hormone tests should be done to make sure nothing else is
going on and that Clomid is the right choice.
Hope this helps.
