Brief Answer:
Wait and watch for her menses.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for the query at hcm about her health care.
I can understand your concerns.
Her period may be delayed due to I-pill because it contains hormone in it and period delayed due to hormonal imbalance.
Bleeding that occurs after 7 days is a withdrawal bleeding occurs due to I-pill.
As her pregnancy test is negative than she should wait and watch for her period for 7-10 days.

Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
As her pregnancy test is negative now, if she will not resume her period after 10 days,she should repeat her test.
She can take progesterone for withdrawal bleeding if her test results are negative.
Nausea and headache is also a side effect of I-pill.
