Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
After going through your description, she has taken the pill in time. These emergency contraceptives has only 89% of preventing pregnancy.
Since her periods are delayed, it is better you test her urine for pregnancy test. that should give you a clear status. In case it is negative and still the delay continues, you need to see Gynecologist for further evaluation and management.
In case it is negative and she gets her periods, it means that she would not be pregnant.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
