Will Light Spotting After Being 3 Hrs Late On A Pill One Time Count As Period?

My girlfriend has been on the pill for a few months now, she was about 3 hours late on a pill ONE TIME and had light spotting the next day. Will this count as her period? She is worried that she is going to miss her period due to pregnancy (even though we used extreme amounts of protection). Will she miss her period because the spotting i mentioned above counts as a period? I m not the worried one, but i would love to help her calm her mind!

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
There is no problem of of having a pill late by 3 hours. If at all taken 24 hours also can have protection.
The reason for the spotting in the middle may be due to the anemia, and infection.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods to have enough blood, and to have protection against infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
