Good morning!! I come with a very important question for me at this point - is it still protected at the moment when I had sex, but I took the pill only 10 hours late? The leaflet says that 12 hours of delay is allowed (atywia, two-component)

It doesn't matter. You were less than 12 hours late with the pill, so the protection is maintained. The intercourse that took place during the delay in taking the pill was also properly secured.
The last question: So the fact that the intercourse took place while you were late also does not change anything?

To @Zuza:
If you take the pill for less than 12 hours, contraceptive protection is not reduced regardless of the week you take the pill. If the delay is more than 12 hours, you should follow the manufacturer's recommendations, which you read about in the leaflet.
And is it important that the whole situation took place in the second week of taking the pills? Because I've read that the first and the last are the worst.

Yes, if you have taken your tablets at regular, fixed times for the last 7 days, you are still protected if the delay was less than 12 hours. There is no reason to worry, contraceptive protection has not decreased. Take the next tablets at a fixed, fixed time.
Here you can check the availability of the medicine and make a reservation:
