Hi cherrylove5, welcome!

I don't think you have anything at all to worry about as far as your protection is concerned from taking your pill 3 hours late. This board considers +/-2 hours of your regular pill time to be on-time. After that a woman who is very sensitive to her hormonal fluctuations might have a little spotting but that shouldn’t decrease your protection very much if at all.

Thanks for posting. If you have more questions, please ask. I hope you will come back to see us.

Good luck,

      Jill
