Hello,
Taking I-pill within first 24 hrs gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. But it can cause period delayed by 1-2 weeks from due date. It occurs due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress.
However, she needs to undergo one home pregnancy test at the earliest to check pregnancy status. Blood test for beta-hCG is more confirmatory. On negative test, she can wait another week to get period.
Otherwise, you need to consult with doctor to proceed some tests and take suggestive medication accordingly.
Practice safe sex in future. Good luck.
