Emergency contraceptives are up to 95% effective when taken as prescribed within the first 24 hours, so the risk is very small. Side effects can include stomach aches, headaches, nausea and a general feeling of being unwell. Symptoms usually start 3-7 days after taking the medication and may or may not include bleeding or spotting. Not all women get symptoms. Some get many or a few or none. It can cause your periods to be early or late, have a lighter or heavier flow, so be aware of this. What you are experiencing with Plan B seems normal to me.
