Birth Control Pill Question?

Hello, I recently posted this discussion:

>>Hello!

So I took my last active pill last Saturday, April 21st at 9PM. I went through the placebos and had unprotected sex (with withdrawal) the morning of Sunday, April 29th. I was supposed to start my pack on Sunday at 9PM but because of a delayed flight, I couldn't take my pill until Sunday at 11:30PM.

Would starting my pill at 11:30PM mean I started my pack late? Can I keep taking it at 11:30PM?

And because I had sex on Sunday, should I take Plan B in case I there is breakthrough ovulatation?<<

My question is: should I keep taking the pill at 11:30PM? I'm used to taking mine at 9PM but I started my pack at 11:30PM yesterday. Should I continue my pack at 11:30PM or go back to 9PM? Which would be best?

Since taking the pill at 9PM would make *less than* 24 hours since your last pill, it is just fine to start taking it at 9PM again, if that is more convenient.
