The last date of periods is 22.12.2015 and the usual cycle is 28days..if any contraceptive is needed can I get a name?
Brief Answer:
No need to take any pill
Detailed Answer:
Nothing to worry dear and no need to take emergency contraception at all as it is very close to her periods and there is no chance of ovulation and thus pregnancy.
But take care of protection in future as emergency contraception has its own inherent side effects.

Brief Answer:
All due to ipill
Detailed Answer:
There was no need to take ipill on 31st at all and this is the reason that she has not had her period.
Don't mess with her cycles like this by taking taking ipill every now and then because it will make her cycles very erratic and ovulation unpredictable.
In case you plan to be sexually active this often then ask her to take oral pills on regular basis and stay free from the risk of pregnancy.
All these side effects are due to high progesterone content of ipill and will be fine soon.

How many days effect will there .I hope I explained qurey clearly
Brief Answer:
Will be fine in 1-2 days
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear I understand the fact that she is scared of the side effects but still can't visit a doctor.
This pain and uneasiness usually persists for 24-48 hours but can stay maximum up to 5 days.
In case her stomach pain is bothersome and resembles that of pain during periods then she can take meftalspas which will relieve her of the pain and thus a lot of relief.
And in case there is stomach pain of acidity also then give her gelusil syrup 3-4 times a day at least 30 minutes before each meal.
I wish her good health soon and just relax and comfort her as much as you can.
Take care
