Can you stop taking your sugar pills before they run out?

No. Take them the way you are suppose to, do not skip any pills. This is important for a regular cycle.
Could taking birth control pills and substituting sugar pills with real ones all month round be harmful?
It would be pointless. The sugar pills do not contain anything in them to keep you from getting pregnant. The placebos (or sugar pills) are there as "reminders" to keep you in the habit of taking them and so when you know to start a new pack. The sugar pills are not needed during your period,that's why they are sugar pills. If you take the placebos when you are supposed to be taking the "active" ones, they are inaffective and you might as well not be taking them at all.

I have been taking the same pills as you and just stopped taking it mid month. may not have been the brightest idea because now my body is going through changes that Im not to sure are pregnancy related. Once you take your last pill before your sugar pills that would be the best time to stop.
What day does your period begin while taking birth control is it once you stop taking the active pills or does it begin when you finish the entire pack including the inactive pills?
The first day of your period will start once you stop taking the active pills.
