well first of all, let me appraise you that you have missed the chance of using a emergency contraceptive pill which is to be consumed within 72 hrs of last intercourse if the intercourse was unprotected. now the only way to find out that she is pregnant with her due date for periods approaching is to perform a urine pregnancy test after 7 days of her missed period. that should give a confirmatory or negative test. urine preg tests are available as kits and they are 99.4 per cent sensitive , so one can trust them ,just that it has to be studied after 1 min.
