When I go on vacation, I do manipulate my period so I won't get it. One time I didn't take the placebo pills and started a new pack. The first day on the new pack, I felt sick and had spotting. When I got back home from vacation, I stopped taking the pills because I felt I needed to have a period. After stopping the pills, I felt better. Do you feel sick when starting a new pack?

I agree. I do this with my pills now. I move when my cycle starts based on vacations, special occasions, etc. I typically do every other month instead of every three. I ma a much happier camper that way.
I have also read articles speculating that this may help in the fight against breast cancer. Rates of breast cancer are higher in women who do not have kids before thirty. Part of the theory is that we are being exposed to different levels of certain hormones because we are not suspending our cycles due to child birth and nursing. This method will reduce the number of cycles and make it more similar to that "norm" you described. This is all very early on in the theory stage but interesting none the less.
