 People do that a LOT. There are pills marketed for that purpose, of only having 3 or 4 periods a year. I've done it plenty if I have an event or vacation that I don't want interrupted. Here's what happens:
Most often, nothing happens except no period.
Sometimes nothing happens, but then my next period is heavier.
Sometimes I spot all month until my next period.
It's totally fine to do. I'm pretty sure it even says instructions on the birth control box. Once you're on birth control pills you aren't having a period anymore, it's just a withdrawal bleed. The FDA has even approved a drug that completely eliminates your period just with regular birth control pills. It's really not a period, you're just bleeding. You don't need it. Enjoy your period free vacation...
