What you're experiencing is from the emergency contraception. With Plan B, you can have spotting/bleeding. It should go away by the time of your next period. However, it is possible that Plan B may cause your next period to be heavier or lighter than usual. It may also come earlier or later than is normal for you. Nausea, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and breast tenderness are other common side effects. Based on what you told me, that he did not ejaculate inside you, I'd say your risk of pregnancy is low. That said, using protection and/or birth control is much safer than relying on the pull-out method.
Here is some information on birth control:
