If she took the pills within 72 hours of having sex, then it is very unlikely that she is pregnant. The pills often cause a delay in the next period, so I wouldn't worry about it yet. If another week or two goes by without a period, tell her to take a pregnancy test to make sure she isn't pregnant. however, at this point, it is probably just delayed because of the pills. She should also talk to her doctor about starting a reliable form of birth control so you don't have this problem in the future. Good luck!
