Pregnancy test 1st: You can restart the pill but get a pregnancy test before your start especially if you were sexually active. After that you can start right away. Be sure to use a back up method or refrain from sex for one week. If using condoms during this week and one breaks then take Plan B (emergency contraception) right away.
