vaginapagina | 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. :)
