Hi,
According to your history the points to be considered are:
- In case of regular 28 to 31 day cycles, the possibility of ovulation is rare at around the 8th day of the cycle and so pregnancy
- If she took the emergency contraceptive pill within 72 hours of the intercourse, the possibility of pregnancy is less
- As she took the pill on around the 8th day of the cycle an as by that time the endometrium usually will be comparatively thinner, the withdrawal bleeding can be lighter compared with regular menstrual flow
- If you want to be sure, let her undergo a blood test for pregnancy at around 25th November, which can help in ruling out the possibility of pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
