If you are referring to taking two pills from your packet of BC pills, the adverse effects could be break through bleeding, nausea, bloating and breast tenderness. The hormones mimic the hormones of pregnancy - the side effects would most likely be similar to early pregnancy.

What if you take the birth control pill two hours late?
Only two hours - nothing. But don't start pushing it.
Yes, but in order for birth control to work at its best and prevent pregnancy, you should take it every day at the same time
This should not affect your fertility (or deliberate lack thereof) nor should it affect when your next period will start. However, if you are having sex you should probably use a back-up contraception (condom or other mechanical barrier) since the pill is 99% effective when used perfectly but is only 85% effective when used in the real world (due to forgetting pills, waking up late, etc.).
No not really taking it within 1 or 2 hours before or after your regular time should be fine. Some birth control pills have a stricter time frame though. Try to not take them anymore than 4 hours before or after your normal time.

How long after starting birth control will it affect your period?
If you are taking one of the pills that stops monthly bleeding it should be effective the first month, if you started taking it the first week of your period. Otherwise BCP react differently in different women.
Some women will stop having a heavy flow the first month, others it may take several cycles to make a noticeable difference. Some women will stop having any monthly bleeding - from using 21 day packets.
Many women have "break through" bleeding off and on for the first two or three cycles - this is any irregular, light bleeding that may last several days or may come and go. (It is perfectly normal as your body adjusts) If this lasts more than three cycles or is heavier than your normal period, talk to your doctor or family planning clinic.
