Yes but with ortho-tri cyclen it is hard to skip periods because it is a triphasic pill, meaning it has 3 different dosages of hormone. As soon as your body is taken off of the high dosage hormone (which is the last week of pills) the withdrawal from the hormone is what causes a period. When you go to the next pack directly you are going from the high back to the low...this is why its hard to skip a period on a triphasic pill. If you want to be able to skip periods you should maybe switch to a monophasic pill. I am also on ortho-tricyclen and I tried to do this...I got my period anyway and then my next period came a week early. You could try to skip it as some women can do it on the triphasic pills but there is a high chance you will still get your period or have spotting. I have learned how to change the date I will get my period but I am unable to skip a period. It's worth a try as every woman's body acts differently... just be prepared incase bleeding does occur.
