Honestly, I think you need to look at a new doc. That much bleeding is not normal and it could be endo or something else. You're best bet is the laproscopy. Hope you feel better soon. I am all too familar with the painful periods. They never figured out whyand now I use NuvaRing until I can convince my doc to do a partial hysterectomy.

"The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun; and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows."
Emerson, August 31, 1837
