pill
SLOW DOWN and chill. You are fine. You didn't miss anything. Like other meds, you have a built up effect. You can take that pill at any time during the day---even miss a day and you are fine. As long as you take the pills on a "regular" basis, there should be no problem.
It is a good habit to take your pill at about the same time--I take all my meds at breakfast and dinner. When I was on the pill I took it at breakfast.
I am sure that you have a cell phone--set the alarm on it as a "pill" reminder if you are worried.
Again, it will be fine.Comment

The pill can be ineffective if you have missed it for over 12 hours, especially if you are on the first week of the pack. Being on the pill + pull out + condom I'd say you are safe.
Just set a daily reminder on your phone so you will never forget when to take it.Comment

Do not take Plan B. You are on birth control and combining them is a very bad idea. Just keep taking you pills as directed and you should be fine. 5 hours is nothing to panic about.Comment

I do agree with Katsaly... You can't take something so strong with a normal pill...
I don't believe you will have a problem.
Can I suggest though, the fact that you forget, means your mind is not used to the daily routine yet.
Therefore, even I have forgotten... put the pills by your toothbrush, providing you brush every morning and your fine, or the kettle, somewhere where you visit every morning without fail.
It's good that you both were sensible and wore a condom, bugger when they break, but your going about it all the right way.
Keep safe.
