Q: stopping an upcoming period

I have the cramping symptoms for my period and I have been on the pill for years so I know when it should be coming which is tomorrow. I dont want it this week. And I dont take the placebo but I am technically 3 days into my placebo week can I start taking next months pills to stop it and should I be concerned about extra protection this month due to changing my cycle?

Lexi, it may work although you will probably get some breakthrough bleeding and spotting because of the 3 days placebo you took so far. You should not have to take any extra precaution.
