Brief Answer:
she might be pregnant
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I can understand your concerns.
The ipill is suppose to work till 72 hours of sex.but sometimes it may fail.
The delayed periods could be due to the Pill but most commonly its due to pregnancy.
I will advise you to get her urine pregnancy Test now. It's available easily in a pharmacy. You do not need a prescription. The details of How to use it is given On the box.
If it comes positive then let me know and I will tell you How to proceed further depending on the result.

Brief Answer:
Chances are very less
Detailed Answer:
Its unlikely that she is pregnant.
Sometimes periods are delayed naturally or due to pills.
I will advise you to wait for 2 weeks and then if periods don't come then do a repeat test.
