It's difficult to skip a period on pills like OTC Lo, because the tablets are triphasic, meaning that there are varying levels of hormones that change each week. Skipping periods is usually easier done on monophasic pills, where the amounts of hormones do not vary from week to week.
You can try to skip your period, however, you may spot/bleed or get your period anyway. Most women experience some bleeding/spotting when trying to skip periods on triphasic pills. If you have a period due before your wedding/honeymoon, you may want to attempt to skip this period, so that if spotting does occur, it doesn't interfere with your plans.
Can I skip a period?
