Brief Answer:
Pregnancy unlikely but cant be sure

Hi XXXXXXX lama96,
Thanks for writing in to us.
There is a faint probability of semen deposition in the lower abdomen in the heat of the moment and that entering the vagina. The delay in period is most likely due to taking iPill. Taking the emergency pill can cause menstrual disturbances for next two months. Stress can also cause delay in periods.
The prevention rate after taking iPill within 48 hours decreases to about 65%.
There is a thin chance of pregnancy. If she does not get periods after another week then please get her to do a home pregnancy test at least 15 days after the incident to get confirmed results.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have doubts.

Please do not get worried about abortion without confirming pregnancy. In my opinion it is because of stress and taking iPill that her periods are delayed, but you should not take chance and get home pregnancy test done after 15 days from incident as mentioned earlier.
Medical methods of abortion are safer in the earliest stages. If such situation arises please consult a gynecologist. Patient confidentiality is always maintained.
