Skipping the "inactive" week of the pill?

Have any of you ever skipped the inactive week of the pill, and went on to a new pack? By doing this you can delay your period. The Dr says it's safe to do for one month....but is the next month's period going to be worse? Will your cycle be messed up?

I did it in college when my boyfriend would be coming over at an inconvenient time, so I only did it once or twice. This was a while ago. My doctor also had said it's ok for one cycle. It didn't mess up my cycles though because the pill regulated them, I would get it that "blank" week regardless if I had skipped a cycle or not.
