Active pills: So here's my reasoning. Skipping placebo pills and starting next pack of active pills is recommended method to delay menses during vacations & honeymoon etc. Some birth control packs are manufactured so you only have your period once a quarter or even less. So if you've already started next pack's active pills, you might as well continue rest of active pack and skip this month's menses.
