Missing a month....

I've been on the patch for almost two years. This last year I haven't had an insurance discount, so I've been paying the full price of it. Last month my pharmacy raised the price again. I just can't afford it this month. Right now I'm on my off week. If I'm not able to get it by "new patch day" and I miss a month...what will happen? I'm assuming I just start it again next month when i start my period again. I'm just worried cuz I haven't missed a month since I started taking BC. Should I be worried? Do I need to do anything different when I start it again next month?

I just need advice. Please help!

Another thing to note is that your next period, if you stop the patch for this cycle, may not come for a while.
