Plan B can change your periods; in fact, it is one of the most common side effects. But usually what it means is that you get a period shortly after taking Plan B and then the following month, you are most likely back to normal.
Don't be scared. It is very rare to get pregnant while on your period, and if you were wearing a panty and a pad, most likely no semen would have entered your vagina. But if you think it's at all possible, the Plan B pill will help.
Taking Plan B won't increase your chances of an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants in the Fallopian tube on the way to the uterus. What you may have heard is that if a woman DOES become pregnant after taking Plan B, it may be because she had an ectopic pregnancy to begin with.
