Taking your pill an hour or two later than the normal time you take it should not make a difference in the effectiveness of the pill. It is recommended that you take your pill everyday around the same time each day (within a three hour time period). However, the pill is not 100% effective even when it is used perfectly. There is always a slight risk of pregnancy.
If you are having sex regularly and not using any method of birth control, you have an 85% risk of pregnancy . If you are on the pill but forget to take your pills occasionally, you have an 8% risk of pregnancy. If you are on the pill and are taking your pills perfectly, you have a 1% or less risk of pregnancy.
