General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. If your girlfriend took ipill within 72 hours of unprotected sex then the chances of her getting pregnant are almost nil.
Emergency contraceptive pills such as ipill are known to have side effects such irregular bleeding, nausea, mood swings, breast tenderness etc.
Her delayed periods maybe a side effect of the ipill. There is no need to worry at the moment.
If your girlfriend misses her period by three weeks then I would suggest she take a urine urine pregnancy test just to be confirm.
I would also recommend consulting a local physician in case of missed periods for her detailed clinical evaluation and further management accordingly.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
