probability of pregnancy on combo pill? anxiety over pregnancy? so stressed, pls help!!?

I have been on tri lo mili, the combo pill for almost 3 years now. I'm going to be honest it hasn't been till recently that I've really taken it more seriously, regarding taking it at the literal exact same time each day and paying more attention to things. I had a scare a few months ago bc of a light period but then got a normal-heavy one the next cycle so I knew I wasn't pregnant. its becoming a pattern of me just freaking out now every placebo week. this month of April, I haven't missed a single pill but Ive had multiple doses that I've taken within a 1-2 hour time frame, not the exact minute. the other day I left the house w/out my pill and took it 5 hours late. it was my last pill in the pack so I just took it. other than that, I haven't missed a dose. its day 2 of my placebo week rn and I'm just so stressed I'm not gonna get a period and I'm somehow pregnant. I don't have symptoms at all but I just need reassurance from people. I dont wanna hear "just take a test then idiot" bc its ridiculous to have to take a test every month. I go through this cycle of feeling anxious just to see I'm fine. I've just been having terrible paranoia bc even though I take it every day, my bf and I do have unprotected sex. and I am terrified I'm gonna be that 3%. can anyone relate??? pls no rudeness.

    You are not having unprotected sex.  Your birth control pill IS the protection.

    READ the information that comes with your pill.  Read ALL of the information that comes with your pill.

    The combo pill is VERY effective.  You DO NOT need to take it at the exact same minute every day.  A couple hours is not going to make any difference.  (even five hours on the last pill is not likely to make any difference.)

    If you don't trust your pill, then you could consider also using condoms with the pill.  The chances of BOTH of those failing at the same time would be extremely unlikely.

    Personally, I used a combination pill for several years and never had a pregnancy scare.
