Delaying period?

I got my period last month on Feb 17. I would like to delay my period this month by about 3 days. Should I take more doses of ibuprofen and how much of it? When should I start? How long will it delay for? Will it make my period lighter or shorter too? I have very heavy periods.

Ibuprofen will not change the length of your cycle unfortunately. Something in the birth control family is much better suited for this.
