Cramps and rectal being before Period

I had surgery for stage 4 Endo about a year and a half ago and gradually symptoms have some back. They had separated my bowel and uterus from each other.

I started ivf last month and I am now the day before test day and I have had 2 days of intense cramping and rectal bleeding.

Since 3am this morning I have been back and forth to the loo every half and hr :(

It's doing my head in. It looks like the ivf failed and I have to stop my progesterone tomorrow which will bring on my period.

Should I be pursuing surgery rather than our next ivf try???

I was thinking how the bowel will be effected if it's attached to the uterus as it was before.
