This happened to me over a month ago and it was extremely heavy. I went through like six pads in one day and had huge egg-sized clots; I thought it was a fibroid problem but it wasn't - my doctors told me the same thing they told you.
My doctors gave me some birth control pills (which I wasn't on before), so that stabilized me for the 28 days I was on the pills. Now, I've ran out of pills and the period is back to normal. Are you on birth control? If not, this can help stabilize your period or if you are you need to see the doctor again because if you don't go this can last for more than a week after your period.

Heavy bleeding after you've already had a period could be a sign of a hormonal imbalance or of emdometriosis. Both of these conditions are not life threatening but are unpleasant and can cause fertility issues later in life if not taken care of. My only advice is to go see a doctor. If this is indeed what is wrong with you, the treatment would just be hormone therapy (mainly through putting you on probably a low-dose birth control), so it will be pretty much painless for you if you take care of it quickly.
