Pain and heavier periods 3 months after excision of DIE

I had my laparoscopy for DIE on both uterosacaral ligaments, scarring removed from uterus and right utererolysis performed (don’t actually know what that is) my DIE was excised. I’m currently on my third period and call me naive but I thought the pain would go, my periods would be better (I had a regular flow before) the last 3 periods have been so heavy with bigger clots and the pain is more intense. I feel like this is half my fault as he offered me the mirena coil and prostap and I refused both as I don’t tolerate well with hormones. He said nothing more I can do for you and referred me back to my GP. (This was all under private healthcare). He did say he would perform a hysterectomy in 2 years and no sooner I’m 43 almost 44. Is this normal for my periods to get heavier and the pain to be worse? Any advice or help greatly appreciated. I’ve been prescribed naproxen by my gp but this isn’t touching the pain. I’m so exhausted and in pain and feel like I still have endometriosis. I honestly thought I would have some relief after the operation. Feeling so down and depressed right now!

I can't speak from experience as I haven't had surgery (yet) but I have read up a lot about peoples experiences and I have seen so many people say their periods got worse after surgery before they got better. Some say it can take up to 6 months to feel the difference from surgery. Your body has also been through a lot so it is likely still healing from everything it's been through with the excision too so I'd say don't lose hope and hang in there. It will take time.
