Brief Answer:
She may not be pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

The probabilities of pregnancy are very less in her case because she had I-pill within time.

Her period may be delayed due to I-pill because it contains high dosages of hormone in it and it may cause menstrual irregularities.

She should work for a home urine pregnancy test tomorrow morning and get back to me with her test results (she is already 7 days overdue)

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
