Wait and pray: When you miss more than 3 days of OCP, you should wait until your period and start the new pack. I am surprised that you did not dee your period( Withdrawal bleeding) after 6 days.
If you missed last 6 days of your pills .. no worries,they are placebo.i.e. Sugar pill.

It is not unusual to: Miss your menses on the pill. Keep taking them as directed, it is not unhealthy to not bleed while on the pill, good luck.
