No worries: Usually, for a combination-pill (2 ingredients, like Yaz), a woman just takes the late pill whenever she remembers, if it is not more than one day late. If she has not missed any other active pills in that pack, her level of protection should not be affected. Thus, if she wants to shift her combination-pill time by a few hours, that should be fine. Rules for mini-pills (1 ingredient) are stricter.
