I took plan b and for 2 weeks had light bleeding before expected period. no period that month though, just the light bleeding. should i be concerned?

Pregnancy test: Since plan B isn't 100% effective especially if taken after 24 hours from intercourse, I would start by checking a pregnancy test. Plan B may cause some irregular bleeding for a cycle or so, but the most likely cause is you're pregnant.
