Welcome to EmpowHER. There was no risk for pregnancy. Sperm would not swim in the shower water and detour into your vagina.
There is a risk for becoming pregnant when you have unprotected vaginal intercourse, that is penetration and ejaculation. The risk is highest five days before and on the day you ovulate.
A fertile male human ejaculates between 2 and 5 milliliters of semen which on average about a teaspoon. In each milliliter, there are normally about 100 million sperm.
The hymen is a thin membrane that covers the opening of your vagina. Whether it is intact or not has no relevance to sperm travel. It is a porous tissue; your menstrual flow passes through it.
Why did you take Plan B? Changes in the menstrual cycle are a side effect of the pill. Your next menstrual period could start earlier or later than expected.

I hope these facts clear up your confusion.
