Most likely: Plan b is quite effective. Also your girlfriend is most fertile 2 weeks before her next period is due so she shouldn't have been fertile right after her period.

Yes it will: Plan b or day after pill is recommended to prevent pregnancy.It can be taken the same day or morning after. If it is taken morning after it is about 95% effective.
