Yesterday, I had "unprotected sex" and I realize that since I'm on birth control no sex is really fully unprotected. But he did ejaculate inside of me, so it would have been unprotected if I wasn't on the pill. However, later that day I was supposed to take my birth control at 8 pm. but I forgot to take it until 6 am this morning. I took it right away, but now I'm really concerned with the possibility of this impregnating me. Will I be okay? Should I take the plan B pill just in case?

Not saying it's a good thing, but I've never taken my birth control on time and have doubled up more than once. You should be fine. If you're worried, go ahead and take Plan B. Just make sure you have extra pads--you might have a lot of heavy "spotting" on par with a regular flow.
