After discovering that I had forgotten a pill (Marvelon), I took yesterday's and today's pill. Did I do the right thing?

Question

It is the Marvelon 28 pill. I forgot the first pill of the second week. I realized this when I tried to take the second week's pill at the usual time. I did not have unprotected sex. According to the package insert that comes with the pill, it says to take the missed dose as soon as possible and take the next one normally, so you can take two doses in one day. However, in retrospect, I'm wondering if I did the right thing and if this could be a risk to my health. I just wanted to get more reassurance from a pharmacist. Thank you so much! Wonderful! Thank you for your answer! Have a nice day!
