Missed the first 6 pills on Ortho-Tricyclen lo PLEASE HELP

Hi!  I am a Sunday starter and missed the first 6 pills in my pack.  I'm not worried about pregnancy but don't know if I should start the new pack tomorrow or now and how many pills to take?

My car was stuck in the snow and there was no way I could get to them before today.  Also, I started spotting yesterday but know that is because of the missed pills.  

I've looked everywhere and only find info for missing 3 days.  I won't be able to get in touch with my doc until Monday so any help immediately is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do not take my word for it but from what I remember my doc saying you double up ONLY until you catch up. So for the next 3 days you tak 2 pills than continue as normal for the remainder of the pack. I would however caution that I could be wrong. As usual use other forms of protection etc. But you sound like you already knew that.
