Delaying My Period?

I'm on Lo Loestrin Fe, where there are 24 "active" blue pills, 2 "active" white pills (that only contain estrogen) and 2 brown "nonactive" iron supplements. I know that with other pills you can skip or delay your period (if you have an event or something) by skipping the sugar pills and immediately beginning a new pack. But I'm not sure how to do this with Lo Loestrin Fe. Do I skip the two white pills AND the two brown pills or just the brown pills I want to be sure I get NO bleeding.

Hi DJ,

Quoted below is some information that might give you some insight as to how you can attempt to skip your period without the risk of becoming pregnant:

(when you skip your period)
* "If you miss THREE OR MORE pills (blue or
white) in a row at any time, follow these
steps :

*Throw out the rest of the pill pack
and start a new pack that same day (start a new pack the day after your event).

*You may not have your period
this month but this is expected. However, if you miss
your period 2 months in a row, call your healthcare provider because you might be
pregnant.

*You could become pregnant if you have sex on the days when you missed pills or during the first 7 days after restarting your pills.

*You MUST use a non-hormonal birth control method (such as a condom and spermicide) as a back- up the next time you have sex and for the first
7 days after you restart your pills."

Here is a link to the information I referenced from: wcrx.com/pdfs/pi/pi_loloestrinfe.pdf
