Most likely not: You are probably not pregnant but start with a home pregnancy test which you can repeat in a week, if you are still worried see your doctor. You could also have a vaginal infection - Plan B only prevents infections not sexually transmitted diseases. Use barrier contraception in the future.

Probably not PG: If you took the contraceptive pill as prescribed then you are unlikely to be pregnant. You can always do a pregnancy test to be certain.
