Taking my pills a few hours late. I was supposed to take my pills 3 1/2 hours ago. Is this really increasing my chances of pregnancy?

No.
If you notice on your pamphlet, if you forget to take your pill, take it as soon as you remember then take the next one at the time you usually take it, and you don't need any extra protection if you miss one pill.
So you are still covered. If you are very worried about it use a condom.

No it won't be. Usually if you missed your pill for a few days, you period will start, and that will be another new cycle.
The birth control pill is a daily pill that contains hormones to change the way the body works and prevent pregnancy. Hormones are chemical substances that control the functioning of the body's organs. In this case, the hormones in the Pill control the ovaries and the uterus.
A woman has her period when she stops taking the pills that contain hormones
