Preventing my next period from coming?/

Hello everyone, I'm hoping I can get some advice on these messsage boards.
here's the lowdown.
awhile back - my bf and I planned a special romantic vacation to Hawaii, and he had me choose between 2 separate dates, I chose, of course the one i did based on when i'd get my period. I am always right on time - to the day, so I have my calendar mapped out for a year!!
due to some serious stress at work, and I ran a marathon - my period screwed up this month and came a week and a half LATE!!!! I am so angry, because now - my period will come smack dab during the trip.
How can I avoid this? someone told me that taking the pill can prevent it, if you keep taking it without stopping for those placebos. I'm NOT on the pill, and never want to go on them, but would consider it, for this purpose only.
Is it too late though to start them to prevent my period?
the trip starts on Dec 9. That is less than a month away now. I went to the dr. and he told me that I can try Seasonale, but there is a chance of bleeding anyway during the time I'm supposed to get my period the first month. I realized how expensive the stuff was, plus read all of the terrible reviews of it, and decided not to fill that prescription, so i'm back to square one.
Please, any advice - much appreciated.

You question is one that we have had before but I can't find the correct
Well, I had the doctor re-prescribe something else. He said to take (Ortho-TriCyclen LO) 2 times last night, 2 times today and then one every day, and keep going through the next month without taking the "period break"
Well, I took 2 last night right before bed and wokeup at my usual 5:30 with an excrutiating headache. Not to mention big puffy face. I don't know if it's from eating too much salt before bed last night or these pills, but today is eye-glasses day as a result.
I feel ok now though. I hope this works. Once my trip is over, i'm not taking those stupid pills. I just don't like how BCP's make me feel. and it's a nusance to have to take them at the same time every day. I forget all the time!!
THanks all!
I never took so many showers before in one day let me tell you it opened up a whole new door in our sex lives and we are still laughing about it today!
a fried of mine said she bought some "K" thing...and a doctor injectit her with that
