Can I Continue Birth Control Pills After Having Missed Dosage?

I missed my birth control for 3 days this weekend and I started my period yesterday. This is 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Could I continue my 2 weeks after this period ends on sunday and just skip my next period? This would mean I go on 5 full weeks of birth control before my next period.
