On Birth Control Pills Causing Bad Side Effects. Can Periods Be Induced To Start A New Pack?

I am on a 28 day birth control pack with 4 placebo pills. Yaz to be specific. If I stop taking my pills 3 days before the placebos start, on the last week of the pack, am I at an increased risk of pregnancy (assuming I have unprotected sex during the 3 days of no pills)? My goal is to induce my period, to start a new pack, because this brand is causing horrible side effects.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
As you mentioned that there are 28 pills ,including 4 placebo.
According to you , you took 21 tablets , now want to stop and unprotected sex .
Main question is ,chance of pregnancy.
In my opinion there is least possible chance of any pregnancy because already ovulation has occurred ,on 14th 15th days after 1st day of menses date .
In my opinion you can change your medicine without any risk.
Good luck.
