Brief Answer:
Get a pregnancy test done if she has missed her period

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Plan B is more effective if taken within 24 hours of sex. So there is a possibility of pregnancy.
If you have had sex in the first week of her period cycle then there is no possibility of pregnancy.

When is her period due? If she has missed her period, then get a pregnancy test done.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further concerns, do write to me. I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

Get pregnancy test done

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
I need some more details to help you better.

On which date she had her last period? When is she due for her next period? Has she had such spotting any time before?
On which date you had sex?

This bloating effect can be due to pregnancy or due to some hormonal changes in the body.
The spotting can be due to pregnancy or some condition like cervical erosion.

To make things clear please get pregnancy test done if she has missed her period.
Best wishes
