Possible: Plan B (or other emergency contraceptive pills) can alter the menstrual bleeding for the cycle in which Plan B was taken, and sometimes the next cycle too. There may be some irregular spotting. One should be sure to check a home pregnancy test about 3 weeks after sex, because emergency contraceptive pills work most of the time, but not all the time.

Maybe, or this could: be a side effect of the emergency contraceptive pill. Take a home pregnancy test to know. Potential side effects w emergency contraception includes menstrual flow changes (spotting, bleeding, early or late period).
