question about switching from seasonale to yaz birth control?

i was taking seasonale birth control because i wanted to be able to only have a period every 3 months instead of every month. my health insurance will no longer cover the cost of seasonale and prescribed me yaz. yaz is regular birth control where you get a period every month. can you take yaz, and just skip the inactive pills and take it the same way as seasonale. im assuming that seasonale is just 3 months worth of active pills, and then your regular inactive pills for a week. also i was wondering if anyone has taken regular birth control pills that way. skipping the inactive pills at the end of the pack for 3 months. thanks!

1. You can skip the inactive pills in Yaz. I have done this a few times after consulting with my doctor. She said it is fine, but you might get some spotting. Maybe wear a pantyliner to prevent spotting your underwear and take the inactive pills every few months to flush out your system as you were doing with seasonale. It is also going to cost a little bit more as you will have to have your prescription filled more frequently.
