For the past 7 days I have been late in taking my pill, from about 1 hour to up to 5 hours, what are my risks and I am now taking it regularly for the past 2 days, when can I feel that my risk for unprotected sex has been returned to a safer level??

I have been consecutivly late in taking my pill

I think the risk is still pretty low if you've only been a few hours late.
-
more than 3 hours off can start to cause some problems, i'd probably wait 5 days to be safe
-
try also having an alarm set to take it each day, I find that really helped me out.

I've messed up so much on the pill and not gotten pregnant. There could be other factors such as infertility. But I've skipped a couple days and done pills late consistently. You should just use the condom for added protection. Read the manufacturers recommendation for missed or late pills to see how long you should take precautions.
