Fibroids, endometriosis, PCOS, hormonal imbalance?

Has anyone had experience with the following and if yes, what did teh diagnosis end up being? 

Started bleeding between periods, like my period never goes away, and mid-cycle, right around where I am supposed to ovulate, bleeding like a mini period, soaking a pad or two or at least a liner. Then, about a week before next period the bleeding goes away again. 

My periods have gotten worse too, they have always been heavy but now inaddition to being heavy, are so extremely painful that even on advil or naproxen I am dysfunctional for days. Seriously unable to function. 

Can a fibroid cause this? Does it sound more hormonal? 

Has anybody experienced this? I'd be very grateful for anyone's help trying to figure this out. (Yes, I am talking to a doctor too. I am just looking to find someone who has possibly dealt with similar symptoms.)

Thanks.

    wow.. I have huge endometriomas, and a large plolyp in my uterus I'm having surgery on pretty soon.. but I can't say I bleed as much as you. Well, I might, but with endometriosis, all the blood flows "backwards" and has no place to escape, making hard chocolate cysts.. so, I'm not sure how much is in me. lol ... Ya, stay on top of it.
