Hello, I Accidentally Threw Away A Brand New Un-started Pill

Hello, I accidentally threw away a brand new un-started pill pack of my birth control on May 7. I was moving home from college and had refilled it to give my home pharmacy as much time as they needed to transfer my prescription. However, since I lost the new pack I was without any form of birth control on May 8 (the start of a new cycle). I called my home pharmacy, and without the Rx number the transfer took longer, so I did not get a new pill pack until May 22. I started taking the pills immediately that day and have been taking them daily since. I am not sexually active so I'm not concerned about that, but I was wondering if starting a new pack halfway through my cycle after having been off of it for 2 weeks would have any effects that I should be worried about. Should I have waited until my next cycle started?
