Hello,

Taking I-pill within 4 hrs of sex gives more than 95% protection against unwanted pregnancy. She got withdrawal bleeding within 4 days and it is quite normal.

However, her next period may be delayed for 1 to 2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance and mental stress.

On negative test, she can take progesterone pill to induce period. Kindly, consult with doctor for prescription. Good luck.
