Brief Answer:
Pregnancy cannot be prevented now

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Emergency contraceptive pill if taken after72 hours of unprotected intercourse, is not effective in preventing pregnancy.
If that period of 72 hours has elapsed, then no emergency contraception can be given and pregnancy cannot be prevented.
I will suggest her to wait for the periods, if delayed, then she should get a urine pregnancy test done.
If positive, then she can terminate the pregnancy by medical method.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Papaya not effective

Hi dear,
If there is entry of even small amount of semen inside the vagina, then the chances of pregnancy are there.
Papaya is not effective in preventing pregnancy.

Medical abortion legal in XXXXXXX

Hi dear,
She can check for pregnancy at least15 days after the intercourse, around18-19 January.
Medical abortion and surgical abortion is legal in XXXXXXX up to 20 weeks of pregnancy, so there is no problem in medical abortion.
