Thank you for sharing your question with the community. I'd love to give you some advise on the matter.
First of all, you need to be aware that even if you the time you take your pill every day varies by a few hours it does not change the effectiveness of the contraceptive.
If you have not missed a day of taking you pill than it is still fully effective even if you have sex during what should have been your period.
Irregular periods can happen for a number of reasons such as: stress, too little sleep, hormonal imbalances, medications, illness, eating disorders, or exercise to name a few. Having an irregular period one time is not usually reason for alarm.
However, if you miss it consistently, or it fails to be regular even when taking birth control, you should see your doctor. There may be something more serious going on.
