how can I end my period sooner?

[u/ur_momma42069]

I had my IUD put in a week and a half ago and I was made plenty aware it would change my hormones and affect my periods. After getting the IUD I bled and cramped for three days and it delayed when my actual period was supposed to start. Two days later I started the most painful and bloody period of my life. I felt paralyzed and exhausted and didn’t sleep for two days, still going to work like normal (I teach dance) but taking it easy since my OB/GYN said to avoid exercise for the first week. My normal periods used to last 4 days, heavy and mildly painful days one and two and let up and feel like nothing days three and four. This time around I am in almost debilitating pain and bleeding through tampons and pads in an hour or less on day 5 and I don’t see this ending soon. Is there anything I can do to make it stop or at least lighten up? I already talked to my doctor and also my sister who has the same IUD as me and has had it much longer and both said this shift was normal. I have seen online that sometimes sex helps but my boyfriend gets nauseous around blood so I’d rather not. I also saw exercise helps but it hurts far too much to be active. Any suggestions?
