Can I start my next pill pack early?

So when I first got on my birth control I started the pills the day after I picked them up from the pharmacy. My pack starts on Wednesday. When I’m taking the placebos my period starts 2-3 days after I take the first one. This means my period starts right on the weekend. I’d like to move the first day of my pack to maybe Tuesday or Monday so I can start my period sooner. I’ve searched the internet but cannot find a good answer about this topic. I’d ask my doctor but I don’t feel like he has a lot of knowledge on this topic or birth control in general (based on my interactions with him when I was first prescribed) Do any of you have experience with this and know if it’s okay for me to start my next pack of pills a day early? So I’d take 6 placebo pills instead of the full 7 and start the active pills a day early. I’m on the Pimtrea combo pills.
