Should The Contraceptive Pills Be Ceased On Commencing Of Menstrual Bleeding?

I am currently taking tri previfem and tried to skip my period this month due to back pain during menstruation. I have an appointment for the 18th of this month to switch but got a little antsy. I skipped the placebo pills in my last pack and immediately started the next pack with the white pills. I thought this worked because i didnt bleed that week. However now that im on the second week of pills(light blue) i started bleeding. My plan failed. I must have done something wrong. But now im confused on what to keep doing. Should i continue this pack even though im bleeding or should i stop taking them til my appointment comes and i get a new prescription? Will my bleeding be prolonged now? Also will this effect my cycle when i do start my new prescription?
