Yes its fine Iv done it when iv been going on holiday.
The doctor told me it was ok. But you shouldnt do it regulary.
Just start the next pack an carry on til the end. When i did it, in the middle of the next pack, i did get a bit of tummy ache as if i was going to come on early but it went.
Your next period shouldnt be any different from usual.

Not guite sure what you mean, But if you carry straight on with no gaps you will be fine.
If you have already stopped taking them for even 1 day you might still come on. Everyone is different. If you have stopped i recommend you dont start again until after your 7 day break

Ya, it's okay, but you shouldn't make it a habit. There is a new type of birth control out now, it's called SEASONAL. You get only 4 periods a year.
So actually what you are looking to do is basically on the same line as that. Talk to your Gyno, maybe you can look into this new stuff.
You should be okay. If you asked your Doctor, he would probably opt against it but would give his okay.
