Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
As your girlfriend has taken emergency contraception she may have irregular periods,as she has taken pill within few hours she is unlikely to be pregnant. Still if you want to confirm get urine pregnancy test done preferably early morning sample, it's 95%effective if done within a week of missed periods. You can also get serum hcg levels done which is very accurate in diagnosing early pregnancy.
Thank you
