I had my period a week ago. 2 days ago i started spotting. still spotting. i took plan b about 1 1/2 months ago. could that be messing wth hormones?

Unlikely: It's unlikely that the Progesterone in the morning after pill you took 1.5 months ago would still have an effect on the lining of the uterus. More likely is that this is a random occurrence of breakthrough bleeding which is typically due to your own body's hormones produced by the ovaries. If bothersome to you, can consider birth control pills to help regulate cycle.
