Taking Levora. Had Unprotected Sex. Should I Be Worried If Pill Was Not Taken On Time?

hi I am on the birth control pills "levora". I am on week 2 of my white pills. I had unprotected sex this morning around 5 am and slept through my alarm. I am supposed to take my pill at 9 am everyday but I didn't get to take my pill till 1 pm should I be worried if ive been on this birth control for about 7 months? I have not missed a pill this month.

hello..
thank you for using health care magic..
well ideally you should take pill daily on same time but it seems you were just 4 hours late so it should not be big problem.. but still to be on safer side i will suggest you to take another additional protection like condom till the end of your cycle.. continue pills also..so in your this cycle take pills daily at 9am and use condom during intercourse . from next cycle continue only pills regularly..
