No biggie, Kate, but you will be short a pill at the end. You can just finish the active pills, skip 7 days or take the placebos (sugar pills), and then resume in the normal fashion. However, your first day on the new pack will be one day of the week sooner, i.e. Saturday instead of Sunday, etc.
If that is confusing, well, you can get another pack, and take one extra pill this month to catch the days up.
