Pill question

This is kind of a BTDT question...I've been taking Yasmin for a couple of years now. I wrongly thought that I had another refill at the pharmacy, but it turns out that I don't, and I'm supposed to start a new cycle of pills today. And naturally, they're not going to get an answer from my doctor till Tuesday probably because of the holiday weekend.

All of this will be resolved on Tuesday, and I know it's possible to start taking the pills again on Tuesday because I'm sure my doc will okay it. I'm just curious as to the implications...is it going to jack with my cycle if I start up again Tuesday? And does it have implications as to the effectiveness of the pills? (I'm assuming it does, because we're told that if we miss two pills, we should use a backup birth control method for that month)

Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the response! I will check in on Tuesday, and I'll come around here more. Got lots of experience in the pill taking, for sure :)
