Brief Answer:
chances are that she would not get pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
As you have given your partner next choice emergency contraceptive within an hour after having unprotected sex, then you have done the right thing. Now all you have to do is to wait for the withdrawal bleeding to start within 7-10 days. Once the bleeding starts , it shall confirm that she is pregnancy safe.
Also important is to not to practice unprotected intercourse again till she gets her bleeding .

Is there anything else that we could do just to make sure like anyother proceedures, its not even been 24 hours yet
Brief Answer:
emergency IUD can be used within 48hrs
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
One should use only one method of emergency contraception at a time. If you have taken next choice already its fine.
In case you want double protection then she can opt for a Intrauterine device like COPPER-T within 48hrs of unprotected intercourse. This shall prevent any implantation of an embryo if at all fertilzsation takes place.
