Birth control pills: In order to skip/avoid having a period, in addition to not taking sugar pills, you also have to immediately start taking next month's active pills. So at no time are you off active pills. This is concept behind extended cycle brands like Seasonale & Seasonique. As for discharge, you'll need to see your FamilyDoc, Gyn or Planned Parenthood as birth control pills don't prevent STDs/STIs.
