1 hour is okay: If you are sure that it was not longer, much longer that you were late - then I'll bet you are absolutely fine. Don't push it. One is one, three is three, etc. A bit is not a bunch. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for the safety window - but know that you must not push those limits. Take care!
