Hi,
I-pill when taken within 72 hours of sex, effectively prevents pregnancy by postponing ovulation. The earlier the pill is taken, better the results. You had given it immediately after sex..so you need not worry. But she will have bleeding after 8 days of taking pill (a sign of the in built hormones are leaving her body). She will have her normal periods 8-10 days late than her expected date.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
As you have the iPill, there is no chance of your girl friend getting pregnant provided she had administered the iPill. You don't need to be so tensed because iPill would work.
