birth control question

during my fourth cycle of pills i took every pill at exactly the same time every day, got my period and everything is fine. my question is about starting my new pack of pills. on that sunday when i start taking my new pack do i have to wait seven more days to consider the pills working again, or am i covered? the only reason i have a questioiin is because my doc always told me to never let mere than seven days pass without taking the pill consecutively. so does anyone the answer?
