I started my 1st pill pack on tue. now am on sugar pill. the mon active pill accidentally popped out. can i start new pack on mon n not tue?

Yes: I think you are asking if you can start a new pill pack a day early. If so, shortening the pill free week by a day and starting your active pill a day early, on monday, should not alter the effectiveness of your contraception.
