Q: Birth Control Starting New Three Times In a Row

My g/f started on b/c approx 3 months ago. The first month she got all the way through, then she started again on the first day she was without a pill. Then she went on vacation about halfway through the pack and she missed a few days in a row so she quit taking them. She got her period while on vacation so the day she got home (approx the last day of her period) she started a new pack. We waited 7 days before we had unprotected sex, and she finished that pack. Now she has started a couple days late again. Should I just wait the seven days or do I need to wait longer. Thanks
