BC to stop period???

Ok, I'm new here and have a HUGE problem. I need your help! Here is the story: my period has been nonstop for several weeks. My nurse gave me progesterone pills to take for 10 days. Ideally it is supossed to make my cycle stop, then kind of jumpstart my cycle and start a "normal" period right after. The problem with this is that my husband is due home from Iraq after being gone for 8 months, and that is the same time I should be starting this "new" cycle!!!!!! My nurse also gave me a perscription for birth control pills to help regulate my cycles. My question is this: will taking the birth control pills while I am still bleeding cause my bleeding to stop? I know this is a kind of desperate measure, but I really am desperate!
