Yes, you can, but it's typically not the most economical way to change, and you may have unscheduled bleeding or spotting. The safest way to do so is to start the new pack on the day you choose, starting with the very first pill. Continue those as scheduled.

∙ 9y agoIf you are taking the 21-day pill, then it is possible to switch the time of your period. With this type of Birth Control, you take a pack of pills for 21 days, then are pill-free for 7 days in which time you usually have a period. However, if you start your new pack straight away, you won't have a period. It is important to note that taking your pills as otherwise directed may reduce their effectiveness.

Taking BCP occasionally or just during menstruation is not going to cause a lighter period and it may cause spotting throughout the rest of your cycle.
If you want to stop menstruation you need to take OCP (oral contraceptive pills) everyday, without using any inactive pills. There are several pills currently marketed for just this purpose, available by prescription.
