Birth Control
I've been on birth control for about 4 or 5 months now, and I've never missed a pill. But last weekend I took it about an hour later than usual, and ended up having sex. We didn't use a condom, but I still took my pill that day, what do you think the odds are of me being pregnant?

You should be fine, most birth control pills should be taken within 12 hours, then after that you should use extra contraception and take the missed pill.
But if you're on the mini-pill this is 3 hours usually.
If you forgot to take it after these hours and you forgot to take more than one, then it would probably have an effect on the effectiveness of the pill.
But either way, you were only an hour late, so you should be alright :)

You're fine. The effectiveness of birth control is usually only compromised if you MISS one or more pills in a row. Your BC shouldn't have been affected by that, so you can rest easy. =]
