Switching and Skipping

This last week I saw my doc about switching pills because due to my *wonderful* insurance company I have to take generic. NOw before i was on generic - no probs, and no side effects.
During the last year of generic I have break through bleeding and I kid you not if I am even 10 minutes off od taking my pill at the same time - breakthrough the next day.
He decided to switch me from Sprintec to Apri. Well I am scheduled to start my period next week and really want to skip it and just start the new pack (higher estrogen)
I called the docs office back and they never returned my call - do you think I will be okay to do that and have no period or very minimal?
This whole thing wouldn't be AS big of deal if I wasn't in a relationship, but how embarassing to bleed so much. Happily he understands and tells me not to worry or be embarassed...he isn't.
So safe to skip or not - just sick of bleeding.

Hi stupidlaws, welcome!

Apri should have less estrogen than Sprintec.....
