It is important to read the information that comes with your medication (Plan B), as it answers all of your questions (and, would help you not worry).
- Yes, Plan B can change your menstrual cycle slightly, and your period may be delayed (usually by just a week; some women report 2 weeks)
- Yes, Plan B can cause breakthrough bleeding (bleeding in-between your period), so the bleeding you experienced after taking Plan B would not be another period, but would be breakthrough bleeding
- If your period does not begin in the next week or two, take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy, or call your doctor
