Brief Answer:
ipill can be taken.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

I need to know some more details to determine chances of conception:
1. Has her menses started?
2. At what period of her cycle did you have intercourse?

She can take emergency contraceptive pills. But these pills are to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse, for best results.

Hope to hear from you soon.
Take care.
Thanks.
