If you have taken your combination birth control pills almost perfectly but start a new pack 15-17 hours later than your scheduled time (take two pills in one day), are you still protected from pregnancy?

What happens if I miss a birth control pill in the 3rd week, take it the next day as soon as I remember, then continue my pack like normal (including the 4th week)? Will that mess with my period? Are there chances of pregnancy?
