having sex in betwen taking late birth control pill?

Hello, if a person takes their birth control (Tri Sprintec) every night at 9pm, but forgets to take it at 9pm one night and has sex from 930pm to 1030pm, and then remembers to take it again at 12 midnight (3 hours late),

is there a chance for pregnancy?

thanks

So I have a question. I have Just started Sprintec on February 2 Tuesday and I finished my week. It was my first wee. I took my pill everyday at 8:15pm but on the second week that tuesday today I forgot to take it and took it at 12:45am 41/2 hours later. If I keep taking them at 8.15 on the dot this week will that affect me this weekened if I have sex this weekened? Is there a high chance I can get pregnant?

Very unlikely if this is not the first week of the first pack you've ever taken and/or you did not miss any pills this pack.  Do you set a cell phone alarm to help remember when it's 9 p.m.?
