I've been on birth control since October 2009, and I'm going on a little vacation with my boyfriend, and I'm supposed to get my period over it, I was wondering how harmful (if it is) would it be if I just skipped my placebo pills and went straight to my next pack? Would that affect my next period? I'm just wondering. And is it safe? I mean I know you're supposed to get your period for a reason so I don't know how that would make me feel when I did get my period the next time but yeah..
Thanks :) (link)

Skipping the placebos is not harmful, since they are basically just made of sugar. However, going directly into the next pack will set your body's natural menstrual rythym off. This means that next month, you might have spotting, no period at all, or even an early period.
So, answer to your question: No, it does not hurt to skip placebos. Yes, it does matter if you start the next pack.
