Default Help on approaching a request for hysterectomy for a doctor.?

I have endometriosis. I just made an appt. again with a doctor in August.
the list i have is
1.- 3 miscarriages due to endo
2. 2 Laproscopes and within a yr. it comes back.
3. Laborlike pain for 3 days if im not prescribed a very strong anti-inflammatory.
4. -It seems to be genetic in my family (sis and niece also have it)


For some reason these 4 points just does not seem to help too much with the docotor i see.
Can someone please help me with other key points on letting this doctor know I want a historectomy. I tried telling them before the Lurpon shot, and that was what i ended up with.
I'm 37 have 2 kids, don't want anymore and i'm tired of this cycle pain, and being in the bed 3 days a month because i can't deal with the pain.
I forgot to say..I did also have the Lupron shot, which failed also.
Depression is not the reason I stay in bed. It is due to pain. Imagine what it feels like to be in labor all over again. The constant peaking, then letting go, then peaking again, etc...

I had ovarian cysts on one ovary and because the ovaries were not removed...I may be paying the price shortly...ovaries produce estrogen so tendancy to leave in...once left try to get them reexamined...it is a b....ch...
