Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad that you reached out to us with your concern about the possible risk of having become pregnant.
From your description, there was little to no risk for pregnancy. You took Plan B seven hours later, so there is a high chance it worked to prevent pregnancy. Plan B is 95% effective when taken within 72 hours and the sooner you take it, the more effective it is.
You can stop worrying. To prevent this from happening again, I urge you to learn about all the available birth control methods and chose the one that will work best for you.
