Brief Answer:
I pill is very effective

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

The chances of pregnancy are very slim as your girl friend has used I-pill immediately after.

I pill is very effective and if taken within 24 hours there is 99% chance of avoiding the pregnancy.

Slight lower abdomen pan is common before she gets her period .

If the pain is causing discomfort and is associated with fever she should get swabs taken to rule out pelvic inflammatory diseases.

She should do urine preganncy test on the expected day of next period to rule out pregnancy and if she doesnt get her period on time repeat a week later as well. I pill can some times delay the period she need not worry if she doesnt get her next period on time.

Hope this helps.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
I-pill prevents implantation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

No, even if sperm reaches ovum the I-pill prevents the fertilized ovum from getting attached to the endometrium, this will prevent the pregnancy from happening, so you need not worry so much about it.

Hope this helps.
