I'm in the process of exactly that trial myself. After many years on a Pill, I've come to suspect that it may be exarcerbating IBS symptoms, especially bloating. So I'm not taking it this month.
I do think the bloating has subsided a bit. But the other thing I'm noticing is that my period has already become wildly erratic! I mean, I had a regular period 2 weeks ago, didn't resume the pills, and bled very unexpectedly for a few days at the beginning of this week.
I'm not especially concerned about this cause, well, I'm 46. This is typical of the onset of the M word.
I don't think it can hurt you at all to skip a month or two, as long as you use an alternate form of BC. I say, give it a try and observe what happens.
