I'm on bc pills right now and i'm in the process of switching to a different brand, and i want to start my new pills on a sunday to make it easier instead of on the day i usually start a new pack.

I want to try taking only 5 of my placebo pills this month instead of all 7, then going straight to another pack of pills.

Is this a bad idea? Will it cut off my period, or will it cause alot of spotting and other problems?
