Why oh, WHY can't people just READ the question???!
To answer, just don't take your inactive (placebo) pills that month. As soon as you finish your last active pill, start a new pack the next day. You will delay your period by 3 weeks this way (by having six weeks of hormones).
Be aware you MIGHT have some breakthrough bleeding, but it won't be a full-on period. And just don't do this too often. Most BCPs aren't made to do this regularly (with the exception of Seasonale).
Happy vacationing.

If you are on a birth control that has the same amount of hormones in each pill the whole month, instead of taking the pills you take while your on your period you can start a new pack and it will skip your period. If your on something like ortho tri cyclen, where each week the hormone amount is different, DONT start a new pack when you should have your period, because i did this and ended up having my period for a month. Check what kind of pill your on and see if the hormones vary by week.

which brand pill are you taking??
I only ask because different brands are... well... different.
people say to not take the last week which are placebo pills BUT some brands DO NOT have a placebo week!
the pill that I am on does NOT have a placebo week so it would not be good to skip that week.
you should talk to your doctor about what to do to not have your period that week.
