Hi, Kaye, and welcome to EmpowHer. Thank you so much for your question.
I'm so sorry you're this stressed and worried. I understand how you feel; it's as though nothing else matters other than the question of whether you are pregnant. Let's see if we can help a little.
If I understand your question correctly it sounds like your period is just late. You took the Plan B contraceptive within 24 hours (and it works for up to 72 hours) and you got your period since then, right? And you haven't had unprotected sex during September?
The fact that you have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative, only confirms this. Please know that stress itself can change our body's hormones enough to make us late. Also, Plan B can cause changes in your period, did you know that? Some women have heavier periods, some have lighter, and some are delayed. Since you have had a period since you had sex, it would make sense that this is what is happening.
Does this help a little? Do you think you can not fret so much for a few days and see what happens?
