Low probability: Plan b is supposed to work within 5 days of use--120hours. Its hard to say whether or not you are pregnant because it's too soon but the fact that you bled for 5 days means that it is less likely. To be certain you would need to either take a home pregnancy test in 5-6 weeks, wait for your next period, or go to your doctor for a blood test.

It is possible: You could be pregnant and still have a light period. I'm assuming you did not use contraception. Go ahead and take a pregnancy test.
