Brief Answer:
no risk of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir thanks for trusting health care magic.
There is no risk of pregnancy as -
- you just touched her vagina and never penetrated her vagina
- it was near her periods time when there is no egg to yield pregnancy
- she took ipill.
This delay is probably not a delay because February had 28 days so date of her expected periods is already 19th march and also it can get a little delayed because of the effect of ipill.
So nothing to worry.
Take care

actually there is an trip to go And it is scheduled on 23 march she is worrying whether to go or not ,in case of sudden periods during the trip . is it advisable to take postpone tablets ? because as it said ipill delays periods.
And one more question its is mentioned in ipill website that ,if periods doesnt occur after a week , you should go and meet a doctor.. in some other websites it is written that it takes usually 7-10 days to get period after taking it . which should i believe ?

Brief Answer:
just wait for periods

Detailed Answer:
There is nothing to worry as she is not going to be pregnant by the act because of the reasons I just told you.
As regards periods is concerned it is late to start postpone medicine because it is effective only if taken at least 2 days prior to upcoming periods.
And her periods are expected tomorrow itself.
Yes ipill can delay period by 2-7 days but that is only in 10-15% cases.
Now all she can do is to wait for her periods and she will get them in a couple of days.
All the best

Brief Answer:
no such method is available

Detailed Answer:
No dear, there is no such thing but in case she had her periods on 23rd of last month then she should expect then on 25th of this month if she has a regular 30 day cycle.
Ask her about her usual cycle length and exact date of her last periods so that I can advice you better.
Waiting for your response.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Brief Answer:
no chance of pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, don't be so anxious.
She cannot delay her periods now and they will come in a day or two as per schedule and that there is no risk of pregnancy as there was no penetration and moreover she is already near her periods so at the time of this fiasco there was no egg to form baby in her uterus.
So crux is that pregnancy is not possible.
Next is the issue of her trip, she needs to wait and watch only and cannot delay them at this stage now.
She can wear tampons in case she gets her periods during that time.
The minor bleeding she had was most probably due to the foreplay and is not of much concern.
Nothing to worry about in short and just relax.
Don't try to take hormones to delay her periods because hormone will not work now and will rather mess up with her regularity of periods.
Take care
