Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand Your concern.
There is one to two percent chance of pregnancy inspite of taking it regularly and at fixed timings.
However three hours delay does not increase its frequency of occurrence. if you missed a pill you can take two day after without any precautions.
It's not possible to get pregnant excluding the 1-2 percent chance because COP prevents implantation and ovulation.
Hope it helps best.
Take your best care.
