Hi Julianna,
There was a previous discussion of this issue:

My doctor was against taking a pill to stop my period when my platelets were below 20k. He said that stopping my period could have even bigger consequences (which he didn't get into).
There is a clinical trial going on now that studies this problem:

Have you had your clotting factor checked? Mine was normal, so maybe that's why my doctor was less concerned ???? I always thought that it was because he was a GUY!
I would definitely consult with a gyn on this because of your endometriosis.
