Hi,
Even the early fluid contains sperms and it can result in pregnancy. It is good that she took I PILL to prevent conception.
I PILL is very effective in preventing pregnancy. If taken within 24 hrs of unprotected sex it is 95% effective.
So there is a small possibility of method failure resulting in pregnancy. If I PILL is taken in the second half of her period the period usually gets postponed by a week. So if her period is delayed for more than a week, she must do pregnancy test.
To avoid such unnecessary stress I advise your girl friend to consult her doctor and start regular contraception like hormonal contraception or intrauterine devise as they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
It is good that you are using barrier method of contraception like condom. This protects you from contracting STDs.
