It sounds like you both have done all you can do, and now is the waiting part. I know, it's easier said than done.
Basically, your girlfriend missed pills, had unprotected sex, and used Plan B. That is excellent back-up planning, and is the purpose of emergency contraception. If it helps, Plan B can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 89% if taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. You can read more about Plan B here.
You will not know if your girlfriend is pregnant until she has a period or misses her period. And, with taking Plan B and missing her regular birth control, her period may be irregular this month and may be late..don't let this alarm you unnecessarily! She can take a home pregnancy test at the time of her expected period.
