Anyone ever skip their period by skipping the inactive week and going straight to the next set of pills? I'm going to try it by starting a new pack on Sunday. Anything I should know?
ETA: I'm on Ortho Tri Cyclen-lo, if it matters.

My knowledge is limited to what my friends who do that have told me. There was spotting for months until their bodies got accustomed to the change. They love not having a "period."

A lot of women get pregnant while, even properly, taking the birth control pill. That of course includes the "skipping the placebo pill" method. Two of my bestfriends had unplanned pregnancies under that method. I feel it necessary to say this because the "skip the placebo" method makes some women think the risks of pregnancy are lessened. And not having a "period" confuses a lot of women when it comes to whether they could be pregnant. They end up on "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."
