Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
When you miss your tablet & then take it delayed by hours, there is small chance that ovulation could take place so you might get pregnant. So always try to take pill at same time of day.
When the pills are taken in higher doses, they can cause cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, and can even alter the menstrual cycle. There is small chance of deep vein thrombosis happening.

Refer to your gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
