Prob normal: To be sure you should take a home pregnancy test. However it's normal to have an irregular period after using plan b. Good luck.

It may be the pill: Depending on what time of your cycle you take the plan b. If you take a morning after pill in the first half of your cycle, you may have an earlier than usual period. If you take it in the second half of your cycle, you may have a much later than usual period, or just spotting for one. Check with your doctor if you have any other symptoms or concerns.
