..there is a way to delay your period? It's Valentines Day next week and typically, i'm due. I know it's possible if you're on the pill but i'm not, and to start on the pill you have to wait until after your next period - catch 22!

If your not taking 'the pill' Norethisterone tablets can be prescribed.
The dose is 5mg three times a day starting 3-4 days before a period is due. It can be continued for up to 2 weeks or so until you want to have a period.
The period will normally begin 2-3 days after stopping it. Norethisterone is normally safe to take.
Some women have side effects such as bloating, stomach upset, breast discomfort and reduced libido (sex drive).
How does this work Norethisterone is a progestogen HORMONE Progestogens are hormones that sustain the lining of the uterus. Normally at the time before a period there is a fall in the level of progestogen hormone in the body. When it falls below a certain level the lining of the uterus is shed as menstrual period. By taking norethisterone tablets (progestogen) the lining of the uterus is sustained until the tablet is stopped.

Technically you don't have to start the pill on the first day of your period... if you start it at other times, it just means the protection is not as good for the first cycle. In any case I wouldn't suggest it for you, since starting the pill midcycle often causes breakthrough bleeding.
But to answer your actual question: no. There just isn't. One thing you may try if you are going for some romance on V-Day is the Instead Cup. This is a menstrual cup that is sold in the tampon aisle. It provides very good blood blockage AND can be worn during sex.

you can only delay it by taking the pill without a break in between

There is no other way to do it, just the pill.
