Is it possible to skip the placebo birth control pills in order to avoid getting a period?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) December 21st, 2009 from iPhone

If you’re on the birth control pill and completely skip the last week of “sugar” pills and just start a new pack, will you skip over your period? They do make bc pills that stop you from getting your period every month. So isn’t that basically what those pills do? Has anyone ever tried this?
