Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
First, I'd like to describe a little about the process of conception.
Women can only become pregnant during ovulation which lasts up to 2 days. Ovulation occurs about 2 weeks before your period. If the egg is not fertilized during that short that, it will be eliminated with the menstrual bleeding. If a women does become pregnant during ovulation she will sometimes experience implantation bleeding about 2 weeks later around the time when she would usually have her period. However the bleeding is only spotting that lasts 1 or 2 days. It is noticeably different than a regular period.
In your case, I do not know if you were ovulating or not. But since you took the Plan B correctly (I'm assuming) and at the proper time, it successfully prevented pregnancy. Plan B also disrupts your cycle, as you saw. If you still stress out after using birth control and having a negative pregnancy test, then perhaps you are not yet ready to have intercourse. I understand that you are worried, so in the future, save yourself the stress by being comfortable with your birth control method.
