Hallow Dear,
Since she has taken I-pill after 22 hours; i.e. within 72 hours of the unprotected intercourse, she is well protected from the pregnancy.
Previous medical dictum was that in one cycle, I-pill should be taken only once; however, now we have scientific evidences that I-pill can be repeated after each intercourse in one cycle; though, protection after second incidence may be questionable.
After I-pill, there is some bleeding after a couple of days which stops within few days. It is not an issue of concern.
The period to follow after I-pill consumption is usually delayed by few days to a week. Since she has taken two pills, it may be delayed by more number of days. She will get her periods soon.
If she does not get menses even fifteen days from the expected date, you may perform pregnancy test on urine to find out her pregnancy status.
I hope this helps you today.
