Edit: I think I misread your question.
If your first pack started on Tuesday, and you took one pill a day for 28 days, then yes, you're fine. The first pill of each pack should be taken on the same day of the week. In your case, on a Tuesday.
If you missed one in there somewhere, use a backup method for a few weeks, but missing one usually doesn't mean you have to start over or anything like that.
You might find it helpful to mark it on your calendar.

if you started your pill pack on a Tuesday then every pill pack should begin on a Tuesday. If that is the way your doctor prescribed them. I start my new pack on sunday. The fisrt sunday preceeding my period. that way you get on track so that your reminder pills are taken during your period.

read your instructions. if you are off schedule ask your doctor what you should do. sometimes they recommend waiting until the next cycle is due for your pills. other times it will be different
use other protection until you know for sure that you are protected.
