Is Ortho Cyclen better than Tri-Cyclen if you are planning to skip your period?

Reply: William McIntosh, MD: "Re: Is Ortho Cyclen better than Tri-Cyclen if you are planning to skip your period?" Hi, I read your response to someone who had a question about Tri-Cyclen, and you said it wasn't the best idea because of the changing hormone levels in the different colored pills. Am I right in thinking that Ortho Cyclen is different? My understanding is that the hormone levels stay constant throughout the first three weeks, and then the green pills do not have any hormones at all. How safe and also how effective would it be to try to skip my period by skipping the blank pills? Are there any possibilities of breakthrough bleeding during the week when I should have had my period? I'd appreciate any information you could give me. Thanks!
