Spotting: How long is your period ?. Fertility is usually 14 days before the next cycle so in a 27-31 day cycle it would be on days 13-17 from the start of the period. Likely just due to the hormonal effect of Plan B. . Consider HCG in about 1 week to 10 days if no period arrives. https://www.drugs.com/sfx/plan-b-side-effects.html
