Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you had intercourse before taking first pill and if she got periods after that, possibility of pregnancy in that month is excluded. If she took second pill during this month within 72 hrs of intercourse and if she gets withdrawal bleeding due to that, the possibility of pregnancy is unlikely.But better to avoid repeated use of emergency contraceptive pills as that can affect menstrual pattern.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
