Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

No pregnancy chance after taking I-pill is very less & intake of I pill post unprotected sex should avoid pregnancy. Emergency contraceptive pill or I pill work by preventing implantation of fertilized egg on uterus. It should be taken as early as possible. It is 95% successful if taken within 24 hours .
As your partner have taken the pill within 10 hours of sex, You should now relax as pregnancy possibility is very less. However there is no method of contraception is 100% effective. Taking one more dose of I-pill was not needed & can affect your periods.
Use condom or regular contraceptive pill as method of conception in future. Taking more emergency contraceptive pills can cause problems like irregular periods, ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome & even infertility.

For more queries consult a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
