I wouldn't worry about EC. 2-3 hours isn't considered "late" in my opinion.. I mean, you can theoretically MISS a pill, and take two the next day, and you still wouldn't need a second form of protection (according to the prescribing info). I've taken pills WAYYYYYY late before (I mean like.. 20 hours, lol) over the seven years I've been on HBC and never had a pregnancy or even a scare.
I know we're programmed to think we have to take the pill at the EXACT same time each day (and it's a good idea to do so--no chance of slipping up!) to remain protected, but there's much more leeway in that than people think. Sure, there are the people who get pregnant even when they take the pill perfectly, but that is the rare exception rather than the rule... even with "typical use" the pill is very effective.
LOL now that I've written a novel... I'm sure you're safe :)
