Batteddy,
No. It was stopped by the Council of Trent to prevent the disease of heresy.

I think one also has to consider the mentality of the Counterreformation. There is an extent to which the Church decided to prohibit things such as a vernacular liturgy or Communion under both species, not because they were bad in and of themselves, but precisely because they were reforms that had been advocated -- and adopted -- by the Protestants.
In many ways the whole point of the Counterreformation (as embodied by Trent) was to underline, clearly, the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism, by emphasizing those things played down or condemned by the Reformers (the Eucharist, Sacraments, papal authority), and playing down or prohibiting those things that had been embraced by the Reformers (vernacular liturgy, Communion under both species, personal reading of Scripture, etc.). The Counterreformation also imposed on the Church a degree of unity of practice, liturgical and otherwise, that hadn't been there before.
If the Reformation had remained a reform movement *within* the Church, it is possible that we might have had a vernacular liturgy and Communion under both species a few hundred years ago. (And I say this as someone who loves the traditional Latin liturgy.)

I'm praying for you girl. I was over due a week and got my parish priest to pray. I delivered that night. Something to think about.
