I was late by 5 hours to take my birth control pill, I took it and right after I had unprotected sex, does that mean there’s a possibility I’ll get pregnant?

Anytime you engage in sex, pregnancy is possible. Remember that the birth control pill is not 100% effective even when used perfectly. However, when used perfectly, the pill is 99% effective. Missing pills or taking them late can increase your risk of pregnancy. However, missing a pill by five hours is not likely to decrease the pill’s contraceptive effects. Pregnancy is highly unlikely in your case.
