Question about the Pill

So I just got prescribed birth control (have never taken it before) and they told me to take it after my next period, which should be coming in the next few days. The thing is, I am going to be leaving for a trip in two days and really don’t want to deal with my period while I’m gone. Can I start taking it now and skip my period this month? Or is that a bad idea?
