Brief Answer:
The chances of pregnancy are very low.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
The chances of pregnancy are very low in your case as she had I-pill within time and there is no ejaculation inside the vagina.
So do not take any stress and wait for her menses.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Side effects of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Sorry for the delay in my response.
Yes,nausea and vomiting can be due to side effects of I-pill because it contains high doses of hormone in it.
It is not necessary that every woman get withdrawal bleeding ( it is only a side effect) .
Some are having and some are not.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
