Start your new pack immediately. You can start the next pack the minute you realize the rest of your pill pack has been skipped. You probably won't get a period until the inert pills at the end of the next pack--that's normal. If you skip an entire month of pills, you will be left unprotected. If you start the next pack a week late, like your questions implies, use a backup method for a week.

You can start the pack still.You can start them today (wed) and continue like you normally would when taking Birth Control pills. The only difference is you will stop early. You should stop on Saturday the 29th then you will have a week for your period. Then you'll be all caught up and ready to start the new pack that next Sunday. Hope this helps and not too confusing AnswerYou can start the new pack today but you will need to start your packet on the Wend. pill and you will also need to use a "back up" protection such as a condom so you won't get pregnant.
