We have had other people ask this question here as well. From the Plan B FAQ:
"Will I experience any side effects from Plan B® One-Step?
When used as directed, Plan B® One-Step is safe and effective. Side effects may include changes in your period, nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, dizziness and breast tenderness. Some women may have changes in their period, a heavier or lighter next period, or a period that is early or late. If your period is more than a week late, you may be pregnant. If you have severe abdominal pain, you may have an ectopic pregnancy, and should get immediate medical attention."
The dose of hormones in emergency contraception can change your cycle for a couple of months. But following it with more unprotected sex means you could be pregnant. If I read you right, you used emergency contraception but then had more unprotected sex? So your late period could be pregnancy or from the Plan B.
