Yes, Apri is a monophasic pill i.e. all the active pills contain the same amount of progestin and estrogen (contains 0.15 mg desogestrel and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol).
You can skip the sugar pills occasionally to avoid getting a period. However, you should take the sugar pills every three months to have a period once every three months at least.
