Hello. During periods if you have sex, it will not cause pregnancy. Only during the fertile period (near ovulation) that is from 9th to 19th day it is unsafe period. If you have taken tablets its an additional protection.

In case you have any doubts do a urine pregnancy test in case she misses her periods. You can do it in a weeks time if she misses her periods. An ultrasound abdomen will give definitive diagnosis.
