Skipping a week or skipping a month of The Pill

[sexyjamie.livejournal.com]

Hello, fellow vagina owners! I've been on the pill (currently Lutera but many others) every month for the past four years. I had some problems with nausea during my period and wanted to have sex without worry. At the moment, I'm on it, just because. I have sex once in awhile with an old flame and we always use condoms. Well, being the scatterbrain that I am, I forgot to get my three month supply of my pills from the mail-order company. I'm on my period now and should start a new pack on Tuesday night. So, here's my question: Should I just take a month off and hop back on next month? Should I take a week off and hop back on next Tuesday, as they should be here by then. Or should I not mess with it and have my doctor call in a month's worth and pick them up on Tuesday--this wouldn't be a problem at all. My insurance is no problem either.

I'm really not stressed about this. My body is pretty agreeable to change. I just wanted to see what you smart ladies thought about this or if you had any personal stories to share. Thanks!
