Just to say firstly that the 50 mcg oestrogen dose in Evorel is the dose licensed for osteoporosis - any lower does not give as much bone protection - so you are on the right dose in that respect (remembering your situation I think?).
Secondly I had hysteroscopy once and like you did not want a GA (have never had one of these) so just took painkillers an hour before as they suggested which was fine - and had it done as outpatient in local city hospital. Can you have another one in the same way rather than with GA?
Re prog pessary (by this I presume you mean the Utrogestan?). Yes you can use it vaginally all the time but not many women opt do it this way continuously all month, because it can irritate the bladder a bit and also affect and be affected by intimacy - not sure how well it is absorbed after these events

. It is not licensed in UK to be used vaginally but many women do use it in this way, and many gynaes and some GPs are happy for vaginal use because more gets to the uterus through the vagina (limited research trials demonstrate this), and there can be fewer side effects than with oral use.
You could try taking it (progesterone = utrogestan) orally (the 100 mg dose) with your 50 mcg patch - but you may also have the bleeding you describe especially as you are still getting it (and a slightly thickened lining) with Evorel conti (presumably after being on it for longer than 6 months). If you want to continue with continuous combined HRT ultimately aiming for no-bleed then you could use the Provera progestogen (tablet taken orally) which may well be more effective at thinning the lining - although you would be taking a progestogen all the time ( although you are doing that now anyway).
Otherwise you could change to a sequential preparation as you suggest - which could be Evorel sequi, or an oestrogren patch with utrogestan x 200 mg for 12 days per month (or Provera). This should also help to thin your lining. The preparation are all listed under the top tabs - pale green benner - Treatments/HRT preparations.
Sorry to hear about your other issues too
