Hello Anonymous,
Implantation refers to the process in which the fertilized egg becomes attached to the wall of the uterus and starts to produce hCG. hCG is the hormone that a pregnancy test detect. Implantation can sometimes cause a bit of spotting or bleeding, but not the symptoms which you describe. It can be as many as 7 to 14 days between the time of sexual intercourse and implantation.
It is very likely what you are experiencing are premenstrual symptoms. Some woman do experience changes in their menstrual cycle as a noted side effect of Plan B. Your period may start earlier or later than normal because of taking the emergency contraceptive.
If you do not get your period in the next 3 weeks, you should take a pregnancy test.
