My friend is 23 years old. She had an unprotected sex (no penetration) and forgot to take the contraceptive measure. But she took an i-pill (levonorgestrel) the next day. What are the chances of her not getting pregnant?(it was her 8th day of the cycle)

I-pill taken within 72 hrs has very high success rate in preventing pregnancy. Also it's only the 8th day of cycle which is unlikely for ovulation. Both aspects taken into account, odds are against conceiving.
