You can take an over-the-counter emergency contraception like Plan B within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. That is good you were able to take your pill yesterday, even though it was 4 hours late. In those situations, it is best to take the next pill as soon as possible, so that's great you took it as soon as you were able to again.
If it makes you feel more comfortable and if you would like to play it safe, it may be a good idea to take emergency contraception. Especially since you have started taking the pill pretty recently and it usually takes about 3 months to get fully in sync with your body.
If you were on days 10-16 of your menstrual cycle, it may also be a good idea to take emergency contraception because those are your most fertile days. I hope this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions.
