I'm in a long distance relationship and will not be able to see my significant other until October.

I'm on a combination birth control pill and when it has no use it's kind of a pain in the butt. I forgot to take five pills in a row simply because I don't need to.

Is it okay to go off it for a few months and start again in September? I'm also on two new medications and I'd like to focus on getting on schedule with those....

Yes it is okay, but just remember to start taking them again at least one month before seeing your partner so the birth control has enough time to kick in to protect you!

Keep in mind that taking other medications with birth control may also affect the ability of the birth control to work effectively.
