Is it safe to skip ones period by skipping the placebo pills and staring a new pack right away?

Question

I'm on vacation in Florida and I am suppose to get my period in the next few days. I want to know if it's safe to skip the placebo week and start the next pack?

Yes I could use tampons but I never do because I find them quite uncomfortable and I always leak....

Answer

My doctor said you can do it three months in a row, but you have to have a period before you skip another pack. :)

Answer

Safe, just don't do it all the time. Enjoy Florida!

Answer

I have endometriosis and when I was on the pill I always skipped and started the next pack... Never got my period on the advice of my gyn.  It was great!

Answer

As long as it's only every once in a while it's fine, I've done it a handful of times when I didn't want to have it during a special occasion or vacation.

Answer

I did it 6 yrs ago when I was on the pill for a yr straight I hate having periods so I always started a new pack right away
