Hi Zee,
I agree that a pregnancy test won't be accurate right now, but I wanted to tell you my story, because I just went through something similar! I had unprotected sex and took Plan B/The morning after pill within 72 hours. My period was supposed to come the week that I had unprotected sex and I got it the same day that I took Plan B, but I was still FREAKING OUT. You should get your period a week before or a week after when you would normally expect it. Since you just had it, it should still come on time, if not early, or a little bit late. I spent the entire last month wondering if I was pregnant and took a bunch of pregnancy tests to see if I was--but they're all going to come up negative until you miss a period (or a few days before). Last week I got my second period (after Plan B), on time, as expected. Plan B is pretty effective if you take it within the allotted time, which you did! (Yay). Bloating/Gas doesn't mean you're pregnant. It's going to feel like a looooong wait while you wait for your period (sorry!). Try not to stress about it though because it will delay your period. Everything can seem like a sign of pregnancy when you're worried about it. You can test a few days before you expect your period (I recommend First Response for pregnancy tests: they come in packs of 3 so you can re-test). Hang tight.
