Plan b effect : The morning after pill only decreases your risk of getting pregnant after unprotected intercourse. It does not guarantee it. In about a week pregnancy test taken at home would be reliable. Some irregular bleeding after Plan B is fairly common. Now use condoms and start birth control to avoid future scares.
