missed my first pill - does it matter?

I was supposed to start my new pack last Sunday and I lost one of the pills so I just started with the 2nd day/2nd pill. Is this that big of a deal? Is my cycle completely off now? The problem was, I had gone off the pill for about a month, because I was thinking of getting off it, but decided to get back on it. My normal period is supposed to start tomorrow and I am feeling the crampy/grumpiness I usually get AND a little bit of spotting.

Should I just stop taking my pack altogether and let me period come, or if I keep taking this pack, will I be ok in terms of not getting pregnant? I am so confused.

To sum it up, I missed the very first pill of this pack and don't know what that means!

Any help would be great!!
