Try to relax. Excessive stress can cause a delay in the start of your period. Additionally, some women, and you are one, experience changes in their menstrual cycle after taking an emergency contraceptive pill. Changes include a period that starts earlier or later than normal, as well as, a menstrual flow that is lighter or heavier than normal.
Start using some form of birth control regularly. An emergency contraceptive, such as Plan B, is as the name implies for emergency use after unprotected sex. It is not to be used as a form of birth control.
