Can skip.: You can skip the peach reminder pills. If you do not want to have a period, you should start the next pack right away, since taking the reminder pills is like taking no pills at all. Understand that suppressing periods does bring with it the risk of osteoporosis later in life, so do take calcium and make sure vitamin d level is good. (a blood test will tell you.).

Yes.: If you don't want a period, you can skip the reminder pills and just start the active pills or the new pack. However, sometimes when taking the active pills continuously, you may get some breakthrough bleeding. If it's slight, you can ignore it. If it's more, stop the active pills for 4-5 days to let the period come, then re-start the active pills.
