I have a question:

i've been on the pill for about 5 months and have always been very good about taking it on time...Until this month. There was one day this month where I forgot and ended up remembering and taking the pill, but 3 hours late.


I've never been that late before and obviously won't do that again, but my question is, just how much of a higher risk does that mistake put me at? I know there is a certain amount of leeway with combination pills, but I have heard everything from 1 hour to 8 hours, so i'm a bit confused...


Thanks!
