Yes, you can always start a new pack early (if your insurer doesn't argue!). Starting early doesn't make the pill less effective. Starting late (leaving more than a seven-day pill-free interval) increases the risk of pregnancy.

Can you start a new pack of birth control pills a day early?
Starting a pack of birth control pills a day early does not increase the risk of pregnancy; in fact, it may decrease the risk. Continue taking your pills as normal. Your period will just arrive a day early that's all.

What happens if you lose one birth control pill?
If you lose a birth control pill, take the next day's pill, and so on, until you finish the pack. You'll start your next pack a day early, as it's important not to go more than seven days without taking an active pill. In other words, if you started this last pack with the lost pill on Sunday, you'll start the next pack on Saturday, and that will be your new start day.
Use condom every time you start a new pack of birth control pills?
