How do you slow a period before a long awaited date weekend?

Aunt flow decided to show up 48 hours out from our first child free weekend in a very very long time. I have been pulling double shifts 5 days a week for 6 weeks and this weekend was very much needed. Hubby won’t mind but of course it would make life much better if I didn’t have to deal with it, especially with another two days of double shifts.

Anyone else successfully stopped it or slowed it down within 2 days?
