This shouldn’t affect you, it’s only 5 hours difference. If you’re unsure though you should play it safe for now

check the leaflet it should tell you what to do or call a local late night pharmacy for advice.
How long have you been taking the pill for?

If you've been regularly taking it for a while now you're good.

Thank you so much for advices
It depends on what pill you are on. Some pills have a 3 hour rather than a 12 hour window if you miss them so you might not be protected. You need to check this in the info leaflet or ask a pharmacist or doctor.

More advice pls
The standard Yasmin pill gives you a 12 hour window so 5 hours later than normal shouldn't be an issue.

You can check this by reading the medication leaflet.

Ideally though take them at the same time every day.

Yasmin gives you a 12 hour window to take it in. So taking it 5 hours later than planned should not matter.

If you still have concerns I'd have a chat to your pharmacist or doctor.
