Could Delayed Period After Unprotected Sex Indicate Pregnancy?

Hi, my girlfriend has an irregular period and it sometimes take more than a week delayed. Her last mens was at March 5, 2015 (42 days ago). We had unprotected sex (came inside her) last March 22 (25 days ago) and she took Nordette as an ecp 41 hours later, followed by 2nd dose after 12 hours. She had a pregnancy test once the day before yesterday and it turned out positive. Is my girlfriend as good as pregnant?

hi,
I understand your concern.
I think you had sex approximately on 17th day of menses, which could be in fertile days of your friend.
Nordette is is a combined cyclical contraceptive & does not act as an emergency pill, unless taken in high dose.
Pregnancy test was done after 25 days of sex,likely to be correct, unless the urine collected was polluted,( then it could be false +ve)
* to confirm, you should go for her blood HCG testing.
Still if it comes to be +ve , she has to terminate the pregnancy- as she has taken Nordette,which is hazardous for fetus.
Thanks.
