almost missed a pill! Should I worry?

Tonight my cell phone alarm rang at 9 pm like every night reminding me take my pill, I completely forgot to take it right away after that because I was busy. I just looked at the clock at 10:50 and took my pill. So I took it at about 11 pm instead of 9 pm. How bad is this? It's the last "active" pill in my pack too, so I start taking the week of placebos tomorrow. I heard in Cosmopolitan that it's worse if you miss a pill at the beginning or ending of the pack rather than in the middle. So I'm kind of worried now. What would happen if I were to have sex after my week of placebos, will I still be fully protective? Last night I took my pill five mins early at 8:55 instead of 9.

Advice, comfort, anything! Thanks! =)
