Hormonal treatment for Endometriosis

I had an appointment with a specialist recently and I expressed the desire to have diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis. The specialist recommended that I try taking hormones in the meantime to see if that helps with pain management. He said that by taking hormones I could control my period and choose how often I wanted to come on and when I wanted to come on. (I'm 23 and in my 11 years of experiencing periods I don't think it's THAT simple. No offence to him.) Has anyone tried out hormones for managing endometriosis and how did it go for you?
