Can I delay my period somehow? IUD

I have a paraguard IUD and it makes my period SOOO heavy! I'm going to two-day music festival in the desert next weekend and I think my period is due. There's no way it will be enjoyable to be there in 100 degree weather, while camping and having to change my tampon every hour (seriously, I bleed that much). Does anyone know of any way I can delay my period for a couple of days?

Ok, so I went to planned parenthood today for my annual and I asked them what I should do about the heavy period issue. They gave me a pack of ortho novum and told me it may or may not delay my period. So, I took 2 pills today, I don't know if the extra one makes a difference, but I'll try anything at this point. Even if it makes my period lighter, that would be fine. Just none of this having to change my ultra super tampon every hour! Ugh.
