A member asked:
I skipped my last period by skipping the placebo pills. i started the next pack. may i take a 4 day break @any time during this pack to get my period?

No: generally, you are better off finishing the current pack and have the period then. If you stop in the middle of the pack it will mess things up for about a cycle.
