Hi,
Althea and Diane pills are the same type of combined hormonal pills having the same active ingredients. Therefore, you are safe against pregnancy till you do not leave a gap between ending one pill pack & starting another pill pack. As, you have also done exactly the same, therefore you should be safe against having pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
