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.

I'm on the pill and last month I read that you can skip your period by starting a new pack instead of taking the placebo pills but i ended up having a period anyways. So this pack I decided to take as normal and haven't had my period. Am I pregnant?
