On orsythia and skipped my period and went straight into the next pack. do i need to go through all 3 weeks of the second pack before my next week off?

Whatever you want: Many women skip the placebo pills. How long they go without a period is up to you. Typically, you might give yourself a chance to cycle about every 12 weeks if you body will go that long without breakthrough bleeding.
