No difference: A woman on combination birth control pills, taking them properly, and is beyond her first pack of pills... has no fertile days. She is not fertile when on birth control pills. That means she has protection against pregnancy every day, regardless of where she is in her pill pack. Taking one pill a few hours late does not noticeably alter her protection level, meaning there is no difference.
