 I would not suggest it at all. The pill makes a cycle if you start messing with that you might end up with quite a mess.
If you really want to know then I really suggest you call your doctor. ( or A doctor) Maybe you can ask on WebMD.
If you are trying to "save" money this way it really is a BAD idea.

 You can, as long as you start taking it again at least seven days before you have sex.

 Twistedbaby420 is spot on! I once went to my doctor when I was single (that only lasted a few months) and I asked whether I should come off the pill for the time being and go back on it when I started seeing someone again.
She said that was a really bad idea and completely messes up your hormones and your cycle - the body gets very used to the pill and it makes your menstrual cycle much more regular. So to go off it would do more damage than good - it is best to keep your bodies rhythm regular and stay on the pill!
If in doubt sign up with a GP (that takes only 5 minutes!) and then make an appointment to see them - they will be able to give you a full medical explanation of why you should stay on the pill (I have forgotten exactly what my doctor said to me!).
I hope this helps!

You can stop for a little bit but to be safe I would use it the month before he came. I think it takes like two weeks to work but I could be wrong on that number so start a month before.

 I guarantee your doctor would advise against it. You'll throw your hormones off, probably experience spotting, and you'd have to "rebuild" your pregnancy protection all over again. I would definitely keep taking it, especially since you'll be seeing him within a few months.
