Brief Answer:
I pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

She is unlikely to be pregnant.

She will have delayed periods this time due to the ipill she has taken.

I suggest you wait for another 5 days. If she doesn't get her periods get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
