Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are very less.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to us about it.

I can understand your concern, though.

The probability of pregnancy is very less in her case as she had I-pill within time.

No method is 100% effective so she should give way for a home urine pregnancy test after 2-3 days as a rule to rule out pregnancy.

I -pill can cause menstrual irregularities because it contains high dosages of hormone in it.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

Good luck.

Hi mam, today she is getting lots of stomach ache which is the same pain experience on her periods but still has a doubt whether it is for periods or not. If it's periods there is any chance of pergnency. If not periods what shall we do?

Brief Answer:
It can be starting of her menses.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you again.

It can be starting of her menstruation.

If she will resume her period, the chances of pregnancy are not there.

If she will not resume her menses than go to the home urine pregnancy test.

Good luck.

Hi mam,

She started bleeding today.

As u said that if she will resume her periods she will not get pergnency right. So, we have to wait until her next period, I.e, 28-35 days.

Yes, you should wait.
