the pill

i have been on the pill for almost a year and that is the only form of contraception my boyfriend and i use. After my last cycles pack ended on sunday i started my new pack that following monday. i usually take my pill every day at exactly 7:30 pm but i had work during that time and forgot my pack at home so i ended up taking my pill at 9;45pm. the next day(tuesday) i took it at 3;45 right before i left for work so i didnt have to worry about it later. then today (wednesday) myboyfriend and i had sex and for the first time ever he finished inside me. I am wondering if i couldve possibly increased the chance of pregnancy by changing the time i took my pills especially since it was the beginning of the pack right after my week of empty pills. can i possibly get pregnant?? is there a high chance i will??

The best time to change the time is at the start of a new pack.  If you're going to go to work around the same time each day, maybe you could continue taking it at 3:45 for the rest of this pack.  You should be fine, though, so long as you're not missing pills and you either continue this 3:45 time or your normal 7:30 time from here on out.  While it is possible to get pregnant, it's a small percentage of a chance at this point.

Yes you can get pregnant, no contraception on its own is100% safe, but I would say only if you're extremely unlucky that you would fall pregnant this way.
I suggest that you stop worrying.  If things don't feel right with you in 3-4 weeks time take a pregnancy test or go to your GP for a free test.

Good luck!
