Really screwed my pill up this time

Hi everyone,
I've had a rough month on the pill here. Here are the basics: I'm currently on day 19 of my pill pack (i.e. I'll be starting the placebo pills in 2 days). At some point this month, I must've missed a pill, but I didn't notice until about day 12, when I immediately took 2 pills to compensate for it (my day labels were stuck on my pack a little askew, which totally threw me off). Then I was doing fine until today, when I took my pill about 2.5 hours late.
Now I'm expecting my period in about 5 days and I'm just wondering when it's safe to have sex with my boyfriend again (without a backup method). I'm guess because I took my pill late today, I probably shouldn't before my period, right? What about when my period is finished (usually day 2 or 3 of my next pill pack)? Or do I have to wait a week or a month or whatnot with my next pill pack before I can have sex without a backup again?
Sorry for all the confusion - I just want to be extra careful! Thanks for any help!!

If you want to be super-duper careful, you can use backup until you've taken the whole first week of the next pack of pills (as long as you don't miss or take any late).
