Kelly has pretty hit everything spot on.
The Plan B pill, when taken correctly and within 72 hours (depending on the emergency contraception you had gotten), will prevent pregnancy. However, there are some side effects that come along with it, like messing up her menstrual cycle. When I took Plan B last month, it was around the time I was supposed to get my period, and it ended up being over a week late. I was worried I had gotten pregnant from a previous sexual encounter with my boyfriend, and stressing only made me worry and stressing is another reason why periods might be late.
Have her take a pregnancy test. If it's been over two weeks since the condom broke, she can take a test and get an accurate result. Or, she can wait until her missed period. But, that's the only way to know for sure if she's pregnant or not. Then, you can decide what to do or go to Planned Parenthood for their AMAZING counseling services. As Kelly said, PP is completely confidential, and she most likely won't run into anyone she knows there. If she does, she can always lie and say she is consulting the doctor/nurse about changing her birth control options.
