Was I protected?

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me make a decision. I take yasmin and am very good about taking it every day at the same time ( 9:30 am). This past wednesday i woke up feeling very sick and threw up three times. i ended up feeling better by mid morning, so i took my pill at 11:30 instead of 9:30. on thursday i had sex with a condom, but the condom rolled up a little bit (maybe not quite 1/2 of the way up his penis) and then later i gave him oral sex. After all of this, i went into the bathroom and used a few pieces of toilet paper down there. im worried that i might have had some of his semen on my hand when i reached for the paper, and that as a result it transfered from the paper to me. However, I can't remember which hand i used.
I've been having really bad anxiety worrying that i might have not been protected from pregnancy as a result of throwing up/ taking a pill a little late. I've thought about taking plab b just to be safe, but i've read about how it messes up your cycle and im worried it would mess it up longer than one period. If i take plan b, i should take it by tomorrow morning.
Any advice?
Thanks

thanks for responding jill.
so my anxiety got the best of me and i ended up taking the plan b. (i have an anxiety disorder, hence the reason i overeacted to this.) of course after i took it and was able to calm down i realized that i didn't have anything to worry about in the first place.
now im a bit scared that taking it was a bad idea, that it could harm me since there wasnt really a chance i was unprotected in the first place...do you think it will it harm me?
also, how long can i expect it to mess up my cycle? like one of two times, or months? The whole reason i went on the yasmin in the first place was because i was having bad periods, so i really hope this wont mess it up for a long time. I mean, does this mean i wont get my period during the week of white pills anymore>?
