pls help

hi! so i just started birth control almost exactly 3 months ago, it’s been okay, some break through bleeding here and there but this month it’s been bad. i’ve had a fairly heavy period for 2 weeks now. i just started college so it’s very annoying to deal with. my dr told me to skip the placebo pills and go straight to the next pack bc the reason i’m on the pill is for bad periods so i’ve been going straight to the next pack. would it be a good idea to just take the placebo pills when the days come this month so my body can have a break from all the hormones and maybe my period will finally go away? does that sound like a good idea or does anyone have another solution? thank you!!
