So if she ovaluted and the Pill both in the same day . The pill should help? Don't women ovulate once a month?

Or she ovaluted 2 days before or after. Will that make a difference?

I did see semen on bed when Condon fell there. How does sperm take to get to egg if it ovulated?

I'm just so worried.
She felt sick sn hr later after taking it.She took it with energy drink would that matter?
If she felt sick that means the body absorbed it?

Brief Answer:
The answers are as follows

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for such a long delay in my response.

If she ovulated before, then I pill prevent fertilization.
If ovulation did not occur prevent ovulation.

She felt sick due to side effects of I pill but that doesn't mean anything related to pill work or not.
Overall if the pill is taken on time it will prevent pregnancy and chances of pregnancy are not there.

Hope you found this useful
