Monophasic Scheduling Last Minute Reques

I am on Lo/Ovral. Yesterday due to digestive problem I took 2 pills in one day. I was a Sunday start on this pill and quite liked it. However, now I have moved everything back one day and will be a Saturday start. If I want to maintain a Sunday start, could I skip my last week of actives, (recently switched to Lo/Ovral, this is my 3rd pack, I have taken 2 weeks, meaning I would have to do this tomorrow), move my placebos to start a week early and maintain my Sunday start? I haven't read what happens when a schedule is manipulated a week early. I have only read what happens when you take packs back-to-back to miss a period altogether. I am one of those who finds comfort in having a period each month. Has anyone moved their period to a week earlier? What was your experience. Feedback appreciated.

Personally, when this happened to me, I just went 8 days in my inactive week (and if I was sexually active, I would have used backup for a week). That way I could maintain my regular start date and my body wouldnt be too out of wack so to speak. I'm not sure how it would work if you were to try to get your period a week early, sorry. Thought maybe this might help though!
