Default Birth Control Pill Dilemma

Grrrr...I've been on BCPs for seven years and I am so good about taking them every morning when I wake up. Unfortunately, I've been sick the past few days, so I didn't get to the pharmacy over the weekend. Here's the situation:

I was supposed to start a new pack yesterday (Sunday) morning. I did not get to the store to pick up the pills until just now (Monday evening). Normally if I were to miss a pill I would just take the missed one and my regular one the next day, but this is complicated. Not only was Sunday's pill a day late, but I took Monday's pill in the evening instead of in the morning.

I went ahead and took both yesterday's and today's pills just now. Am I good to go? Should I be using a backup method of BC? For how long?

THANK YOU!!!
