I am on Ortho-tricyclen right now.. If I were to not take the placebo pills and just start a new pack right away, would my period just be skipped? Has anyone done this with this brand of pills and had problems?
Thanks in advanced.

If you want to skip THIS period, I would say you shouldn't count on it working. If you want to move your period a week earlier in the future & can stand some possible spotting in the next month, I say go ahead & try it! You might even get lucky & not bleed!
Your protection from pregnancy should not be compromised, even if you do bleed, the two are controlled by separate mechanisms.
Your Docs a man, right? How much time do you have before your wedding? It would be a good idea to try to move your period as soon as possible in case it doesn't work as well as you hope it will.
Good luck
