How Effective Is Plan B In Avoiding Pregnancy?

Question: Hi, My girlfriend had to take Plan B pill because the condom broke. She took the Plan B pill immediately. Two days later was her time for her period and she is hardly having a period. Is this normal?
I also wanted to know if the Plan B does not work, is there a different method of avoiding pregnancy without having abortion?
If so what is it called?
BDW, the condom broke on Saturday 9/12/15 at 7:00 pm, she took Plan B on Sun 9/13/15 at 10:00 am. Her weight is about 120 pounds.
She is also complaining that she is having a lot of Paine in her abdominal section and her vagina section.

Brief Answer:
Probably normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Period can occur even if there is light bleeding,but also this can be implantational bleeding which however isnt common after 2 days and also she wasnt in her fertile days,but pregnancy cant be ruled out 100%, Chances for pregnancy are negligible,but to rule this for sure,she should do pregnancy test in 1 week.
WIsh you good health. Regards
