We usually tell people nothing for two weeks after a simple colposcopy and biopsy, so I would follow the above suggestions for waiting a while longer than your doctor recommended, just to avoid discomfort. I would definitely use pads instead of tampons for this period and for any spotting that might result from the leep.
I would not consider taking your pills a couple of hours late to be missed pills- you took them within 12 hrs. Certainly, pills are MOST effective if taken at the same time every day, but you do have a little bit of lee way. Are you on low-dose pills? I might be slightly more concerned then, and that might explain the break through bleed in August.
