I'm currently taking microgestin 1/20 & i'm going to attempt to skip my period next month. will i have breakthrough bleeding? should i try it this month first and if it's successful do it again next month? or should i do it this month and then plan it so

Do as planned: Take the microgestin as you have planned it out. There is no guarantee that you will not have breakthrough bleeding/spotting;; it's unpredictable - so you may as well go for it.
