you won’t skip a period, it will be like taking the pill:3 weeks of hormones, one week off. i know some people ‘tweek’ their birth control regimine by skipping pills or starting a pack earlier. not sure how healthy that is for your system, you could ask your OB if you can start the next cycle early, she what he/she has to say. and even if you were prescribed a new birth control method now, you’d probably have to wait until your next cycle to start it, so no help there.
