Hallow Dear,
I do empathize your situation.
It is a positive finding that your ultrasonography has not detected any organic lesion in the uterus.
For the hormonal imbalance, you will have to take hormonal treatment. If you do not take it, the imbalance may interfere in your conception. If you are keen on getting pregnant, you need not defer for the hormonal treatment. Retroprogestational preparations of progesterone will help you regularise your menses without affecting the egg formation and release. You may request your Gynaecologist to prescribe you retroprogestational preparation.
Of course I would like you to get your coagulation profile done, keeping in mind the history of missed abortion. Please get following tests done:
1. Bleeding time & Clotting time
2. Platelets count
3. Prothrombin time
4. Fibrinogen degradation products
I hope this should provide you positive scientific information.
