missed last pill, what to do?

When i went to start my pack of birth control pills the first pill was missing. i was living on campus at the time and im wondering if someone stole it. i didnt know what happened to it, but didnt know what to do. i talked to a friends mom, whos a doctor, and i talked to someone who worked at the pharmacy at a local grocery store. both told me to just take my pills like normal and just stop the pill when i run out. so basically stop taking my pills a day early. then, they said everything would be fine. well now ive been off the pills for 2 days and im starting to worry. i read online somewhere that missing a pill right before or after the week of sugar pills can result in ovulation. as of right now, my boyfriend and i decided to take a month off from sex just to be safe. i just want to know if i did the right thing, for future reference. (by the way im on a 28 day pill if that helps...)

thanks,
erika
