I tried to do this when i was on the pill, and it didn't work.
i had a vacation with my fiance and didn't want to be on it, and so i skipped my first week of pills but the week when i was supposed to have it i spotted all week and then when i was takinghte placebo pills i had the natural flow.
there is a pill my gyno suggested actually makes you skip. i would talk to her about that

Sounds so darn complicated!!!!!!!
WoW does this really work? a friend of mine told me that the pills are better than the shot. They have less side effects.
You're supposed to skip the placebo pills and continue right into a new pack - I heard that it is safe to do this indefinitely. However, when I did it, I ended up having a problem with my insurance company - they would only authorize refills every certain number of days. Like, I could only get the new pack three days before I needed it if I had taken the placebos. I had to call and ask for them to make a special authorization so I could pick them up at the pharmacy before I went on vacation.
Instead of taking the placebo pills....start a new pack and you will skip your period that month but you may get some break through bleeding. I have done it a few times and never had a problem.

I thought that may happen to b/c if I go to the Pharmacy too early they won't give me the pill till I'm using the Placebo.

It depends on what type of pills you are on. I think if your pills have varying hormone levels like tri-phasic pills it may not work properly. Your dr. can definitely tell you if your pills can do it.
skip the placebos and start a new pack on week 4. you will skip your period and have your period at the end of the new pack without any problems...
I think the only way to make it work is to continuosly take the pill and skip the placebo. A girlfriend of mine does this all the time actually because she says she doesn't like to get her period.??? I wouldn't reccomend it for a long period of time but as soon as your suppose to start the placebo just pop a real pill and start the new pack right away.
