How Long Does Levonorgestrel Stay In The Body?

HI doctor! Nice to meet you. I have a question for you and that is, a friend of mine took 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel today after having unprotected sex. She is worried and would like to know how long will the levonorgestrel stay in her system. She will be going for a hospital checkup next week, will the levonorgestrel still be in her system by the time she goes for the checkup? I hope you can answer my question!
