My wedding is coming up and when I checked the calendar my period starts a couple of days before the wedding. When I finish my current pack can I start a new pack so I won't have my period during my wedding and honeymoon?

Are your pills mon-phasic or tri-phasic?

if they are mono-phasic then you should be able to skip your period just fine. Tri-phasic pills, however, because of the graduated amount of doses, can cause spotting/full bleeding for an entire month when period is "skipped".
