Menopausal: A person is only considered menopausal after no cycle for 12 months... That being said... If you are having abnormal bleeding after the age of 35 and someone felt pressed to check an u/s you likely need an endometrial biopsy sampling to ensure that there are no abnormal cells... If bleeding is very light and you have not stopped bleeding for 1 year u may be able to skip bx ... Talk to your doc.

Hyperplasia?: 11mm would be unusually thick for a post menopausal endometrium. That, coupled with some bleeding after 5 months of amenorrhea could suggest endometrial hyperplasia. Your gyn might consider an endometrial biopsy if these findings are persistent. Are you taking any sort of estrogen containing medications or creams? Exogenous hormones could also produce similar effects.
