Okay, this is what I've heard. Because I was curious about the same thing. A friend of mine, at certain times, skips her week off pills and just starts a new pack, thereby avoiding getting her period. Her doctor told her that it was ok. I've been tempted to do it many times but never have. My guess is it's technically ok as long as you don't do it month after month. I also have a feeling it depends on how high an estrogen level is in your pill. If you're on a high estrogen pill, I'd be a bit more tentative to take it non-stop.
I'd ask your doctor forsure, but I know it has been done.
