Does taking 2 of my pills on 2nd pack 3hours late than usual affects it efficacy to protect me fr preg? i had unprotectd sex. pls help

Consistency is best: Most oral contraceptive are so low in hormone that if taken irratically can result in ovulation and pregnancy, so taking them at a similar time each day is always best. Doubling up after being 3 hours late may be unnecessary, but unlikely to be harmful.
