I'm not entirely sure what you're saying, but what I read is that you finished one pack, had run out, and didn't get to start another pack for a couple of weeks.  If this is the case, you need to use a backup for the first 7 days of the new pack (or whatever the insert packet says), and then continue to take the pill to the end of the pack, and then continue with new packs like normal.  In other words, do not stop taking the pill halfway through a pack.

Hope this helped.
