You are correct. Your girlfriend is not pregnant because she had vaginal bleeding after taking Plan B. Changes in the menstrual cycle is a reported side effect. For some women, the next monthly period can start earlier or later than normal. Menstrual flow can be lighter or heavier than normal.
However, if it has been two months since your girlfriend took Plan B and had vaginal bleeding, I think it wise she consults her gynecologist. Unless she has since had unprotected sex, I do not suspect pregnancy, but possibly an hormonal imbalance from taking the emergency contraceptive.
