Hmmm?? Help please?!

Hi ladies! I hope you're all having a wonderful evening.

Okay, I have been on Yasmin for 5.5 years now. Me and my boyfriend do not use any other contraceptives except for withdrawal (if that counts). I have three questions.

1. I take my pill at 8 PM each day. The latest I will take it is at 11 if I forget. This doesn't happen often. How much does that compromise my effectiveness, if at all?
2. I missed ONE PILL in the third week of my pack last month, made it up in 11 hours. Pamphlet said not to use another form of contraceptive. I used a condom anyway. Got my bleed, on first week of new pack. Am I compromised at all from missing a pill in the last week?
3. I got my bleed, a little lighter than usually, but not UNUSUALLY light. I filled up 2 pads a day. I'm okay, right?

Thanks, ladies!
