Brief Answer:
You are protected against pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Taking a single pill 11 hours late does not reduce the efficacy of the pill. You are protected against pregnancy. You should get your withdrawal bleeding on time. Nothing to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
