Overly so.: Taking a pill an hour or so late will not affect much so you should have been covered with that alone. However you also took plan B which is very effective if taken as you describe.

Worry not: Hi. It sounds like you're safe to me. Taking your pill off by 3 hours from your normal time shouldn't make any difference, and the plan B, if used within the appropriate time frame after sex, sews up the deal. Of course, if your next period is late, get checked. Good luck!
