taking a break from the patch
WARNING: i am wordy and feel its necessary to tell a long story before asking a simple question. :)
hello! i am 17, boston born and bred, in a long term relationship with a adorable boy for about a year and a half. i am on ortho evra (the patch) and im freaking in love with it. i have been on it for about 7(ish?) months. i am due to get my period tomorrow around 12 PM. (reason #1 why i love the patch: i can predict when ill get my period down to the hour.)
on june 27 my boy will be boarding a plane for israel. he will return mid-august.
on june 29 i will be boarding a plane to texas to go visit my family. (boo...) i will return mid-august.
so, we will be apart for 6 weeks or so. thus, no bangin' will take place.
i was thinking during this 6 weeks (it would be starting now, since im on my period week) i would like to take a break from the patch. the 2 reasons are 1) im not totally ok with being on hormones and this would be the only time i would be able to take a break. i just want to do it. and 2) its hot in texas. much hotter than the boston weather im used to. my parents have a pool that i pretty much live in or around when i visit them. people are bound to see it. my bathing suits are lower than the patch; its hard to hide. my parental unit #1 (mother) knows about the patch, boy, the hot sweaty bangin, etc, etc. shes pretty cool. parental unit #2, on the other hand, if he saw my little birth control patch, would load a shotgun, catch a plane to israel, and hunt.boy.down. i just dont want to be on it while down there. its not necessary.
*exhale* i told you i was wordy.
ok. so, here the question: will i totally wig out if i stop? will the adjustment coming off and then going back on it in late august be hard? i had no weird side effects when i started the patch, but since ive been on it for so long, might that change when i restart? any thoughts/comments that are even remotely related are super cool. :)

It's also almost impossible for the man involved with my "downtheres" to know about it. Even when he's using his hands! I swear, I love the ring.

i know aaaalllll about the ring. i work at a womens clinic and i get to hand them out all day. they are nifty little things, ill admit, but im prone to yeasties and what not and so id rather not tempt fate. :)
my patch doesnt fall off or anything. i really think my relationship with me and my patch is better and more solid than my relationship with any people in my live. im seriously freaking in love with it. prior to it i had tried many other pills (i wanna say 3), all of which had various horrible side effects such as make me a crazy biznatch and making my hair fall out in chunks... that was a fun month before storming back to the doctor in tears... yeah...
