Could it be healthy to skip placebo week and start a new pack?

Yes...ask your doc: Taking Birth Control pills continuously like this won't hurt you in any way. Its sometimes recommended for women who have migraine headaches during their period or other severe period-related symptoms. Most women who do this will eventually start to have some break-through bleeding. Ask you doc if this way of taking birth-control is right for you. Best wishes!
