Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to us.
There was no need to take Plan B. Plan B prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. If you took it a week or less before your period was due, you had already ovulated. It is effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. So, taking it so late, it would not be effective.
You were never at risk for becoming pregnant because you wiped away the semen and did not use that toilet tissue to wipe.
Changes in the menstrual cycle are a side effect of an RCP. Your period can be delayed up to five days as a side effect of the pill. Stressing over this can cause a delay.
Try your best to relax and your period will start.
