'Missed' pills by a few hours, what are my pregnancy chances?

I recently just finished my last set of (21) pills of Diane 35 last April 21 where I started taking it March 30. I am supposed to take it on my 5th day of period which was last March 7 (I also came from a week long travel from the other side of the world) but I delayed my intake knowing I will be sexually active again when I see my partner overseas on the first week of April. I had light bleeding/spotting from March 18-20, is this because I withdrew from the pill?

I continuously took my pills from March 29 til I consumed everything but some days I was unable to drink it "on time" (the max number of hours from supposed time intake was 4 hours, does that help?).

Today, it's my 38th day since my last cycle (18 March-24 April) but I had light brown spotting yesterday and semi yellow-brown discharge today.

What are my chances of getting pregnant? Is the period delay also because of my traveling as well as my "late" pill intake?
