Brief Answer:
Almost nil chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
The bleeding she had between 10-12th May was the withdrawal bleeding due to the hormonal effect of the i pill.
Since she had taken the pill within 24 hours of the unprotected intercourse, the chances of pregnancy are absolutely nil as i pill prevents pregnancy in 95-98% cases in such a situation.
There is absolutely nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
