A missed pill should always be taken as soon as you realize you have missed it, but there is likely no risk from one missed pill or a need for EC. A "late" pill varies more in definition amoung various sources, and to some degree from pill to pill, but with any type of pill, if you have taken a pill more than 12-24 hours late, you may want to consider using a backup method of birth control for the rest of your cycle to play it safe." Additionally, with the combination pill, three hours after the time when you normally take it is not considered late. Essentially, one late pill isn't too much to worry about. Does this help?
