Right, but you are supposed to take multiple pills -- usually 10 or so, depending on the brand, in two separate dosages.
The problem is that since yours is a triphasic, you don't actually have 10 of those higher-dose pills, and the math'll get kind of murky.
That said, I wouldn't really fret too much. Protection isn't as simple as "SIX DAYS ZERO PROTECTION -- OKAY SEVEN DAYS, BAM, FULL PROTECTION." Basically, it's more that you can't be guaranteed full protection until seven active pills have been taken. But having sex on the sixth day isn't necessarily going to be a huge risk either.
