I take birth control normally, but i messed up. should i hold off on the next month of birth control until i get my period?

Check package insert: This depends on the type of pill and where in the package the mistake occurred. The package insert should have specific instructions on when and whether or not to take the missed pill(s) or if you should discard that pack, wait for period, and then restart a new pack. Definitely use backup with condoms.
