Just to ease your mind, many women experience (and share) nearly the exact same experiences after taking PlanB.
Many women report a change in their menstrual cycle -- either it starts much sooner or is delayed and can either be a heavier or lighter flow. As it is a high dose of progestogen, other side effects include dizziness, nausea, stomach upset, headaches, and breast tenderness.
It sometimes takes 2-3 cycles for your period to return to normal.
Try to relax and just wait for your period to come. It can be as late as 7 days. If you really want to ease your mind, a doctor can do a pelvic exam to rule out the pregnancy.

Hope this helps? Do you feel better?
