Hallow Dear,
I-pill taken within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse does give protection against the pregnancy in about 90% of the cases. Few days after these pills, there is a possibility of some bleeding and the subsequent period may get delayed by few days. However, usually the delay is not more than a week.
If it is 15 days since she has missed her period, please get pregnancy test done on her overnight first morning urine sample.
If she is not pregnant, Tab. Deviry for 5 days will get her withdrawal bleeding within subsequent 4-7 days.
If she is pregnant, she may terminate her pregnancy by medicines up to 9 weeks of gestation.
These medicines are prescription medicines and should be obtained and taken by Gynaecologist's advice only. They cause developmental abnormalities in the baby; hence in case of the failure of medicines, pregnancy should be terminated by some surgical procedure like MVA or so.
So, get your pregnancy test done and then report to the Gynaecologist if needed.
I hope this helps you.
