Have A Non-hormone IUD, Causing Long Heavy Periods, Going To Attend A Camp For A Week. Can I Start Taking A Birth Control Pill?

Hi There, I am hoping you can give me some advice. I have a non-hormone IUD and it is causing me to have long heavy periods. I am going away camping for a week august 26 and am due to get my period Aug 23. If I start taking a birth control pill on the 12th but leave my IUD in for protection against pregnancy will I be able to prolong getting my period?
