Brief Answer:
Idiopathic cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Scanty flow during the periods can be due to tuberculosis, asherman's syndrome or can be due to inherent changes in the endometrial lining.
If all other tests are normal, then you should follow your doctor's advice and take estrogen hormone treatment when trying to conceive.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, yes, the problem is likely due to hormonal disturbances in the body.
These subtle disturbances sometimes do not show in the lab reports due to the chemical structure of the hormone.
