See below: The hormonal changes due to Plan B or p2 could have delayed your period. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time.
Wish you good health!
