Can A Missed Dosage Of Birth Control Pill Cause Pregnancy?

I have been taking my birth control perfectly on time for over a month, and I ve been on birth control for 2 years. However, about 5 days ago I forgot to take my pill but took it when I woke up the next morning around 10 realizing I had forgotten. Additionally for the past two days I took the pill 2 hours later than normal. Today my boyfriend came inside me, after I immediate went to the bathroom and tried to get a lot of it out with toilet paper. My question is should I take plan B since I took 3 of my pills this cycle a little late or am I safe?

Hi I think you are safe as you took the pill as soon as you remembered it. Taking the pills 2 hours late is not a big issue. Just continue rest pills as scheduled. You need not take emergency pill. Hope it helps.
