Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
The short answer is yes. This is perfectly normal chain of events and I'll explain why.
The normal side effect of taking Plan B is bleeding for about 5 days shortly after just as you had. This happens out of sink with your regular cycle.
Your body probably took it harder than another person may have experienced. As you probably know, both birth control and emergency contraception have hormones. When you take one after another around the same time frame it is very difficult for your body to handle the conflicting hormonal messages.
It will take time for your body to adjust to coming off the birth control pills, plus the added confusion of taking EC.
You don't have to see a doctor or worry though. You just need to relax, eat well, get good exercise and your hormones will balances themselves as long as you take good care of yourself.
