Period woes - updated

So DH and I are going on a long weekend trip this weekend to Key West and surprise, surprise...AF showed up. So I called my OB to see if there was a way I could start BCP to stop it for this weekend. They want me to come in for an US to see how thick my lining is to know what to prescribe me. I've not taken BCP for several years since we were TTC and now bc we're severe MFI so really no need. Sooooo...am I crazy to get on something so we can have an enjoyable 4-day trip? It's not so much sex that I'm upset about as just the inconvenience and how heavy they have been. Am I crazy? Any ill side effects of doing this?

Update - they gave me a low-dose BCP and said to take two pills a day through vacation and that would hopefully stop it. We shall see!

    I've taken back to back BCPs to skip a period without any ill effects. But, will the pill actually stop your period for the weekend? It wouldn't have done anything to mine, but my periods are angry and fierce and get extra testy when I try to mess with them.

    I wouldn’t think they would hurt anything but it may not stop it either. If you would have been on it BEFORE maybe but not sure now
