Oral contraceptives: Usually three weeks of active pills and a week of dummy (no hormone) pills. If you missed enough time without continuous active pills, it makes no difference whether you start a fresh pack or carry on. Meanwhile please use a BACKUP contraceptive method until your next period, during the dummy pills.
