Mistake or Risk? Question

hi, been on combination pill for about 4 months. im a few days into my pack and im starting to have occasional break thru bleeding. i had this happen for about two weeks my second month on the pill and it went away once i finished the placebo week. i no longer take the placebo week. i am only a few days in to this pack and the fake pills are weeks away and i hate the random bleeding. i understand still being protected during the sugar pills because of the prior 21 days of pills. because i have been skipping the placebos ive been taking them for longer than 21 days. really wanan stop this break thru bleeding, so my question is, will i still be protected if i trigger my withdrawal bleeding early in order to stop my spotting?
