Considering hysterectomy after bleeding since June 22nd

Heyo, hystorically I've had regular periods but the last 2-3 years they've been irregular with a 6+ month stretch with no period at one point. I have not had sex since 2020. Anyways I started my period June 22nd and it hasn't stopped since. I've had bloodwork done twice, my hemoglobin is low normal. It was 12 the first time and 11 the second but I also have a history of iron deficiency anemia though they didn't check iron. I've done ibuprofen 800mg 3x a day for five days and then txa 3x a day for five days. The TXA slowed the bleeding down but didn't stop it. I did the full panel for STI testing, pap smear, and a bladder and transvaginal ultra sound. Ultrasound showed homogeneity and that's it. Supposed to repeat in 6-10 weeks when I'm not bleeding (which is starting to feel like will never happen) and tomorrow I have a endometrial biopsy. Please do not tell me any biopsy horror stories lol. But I messaged my provider today like "Hey is it too soon to consider a hysterectomy?" Like I'm not using it it's causing problems we cant find out why can I just get rid if it please. Could use some commiseration I think. I'm so over this. I am incredibly lucky in that I am not having any pain or other symptoms.
