If you can confirm ovulation and some bleeding consistent with period
timing AND all hormone tests are normal, that should be sufficient for
now. An endometrial biopsy may be helpful. You may wish to discuss
this with your doctor as to whether or not it's right for you.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
