Brief Answer:
Yes she need to consult a gynaecologist.
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that I pill is just a measure for emergency contraception and not to be taken repeatedly . Since her menses didnt start she took 2 i pill tablets which can lead to homonal disturbances which may even delay periods or cause sudden bleeding . Thus periods may be delayed even if she had not been pregnant .
I will advise you to consult a gynaecologist , get a urine pregnancy test done . Although since she took I pill within 29 hours the chances of getting pregnant are very less . Her periods might be delayed due to anxiety and another two tablets that she took . But still ruling out pregnancy is very important.
Take care.
