Had Unprotected Sex, No Morning Sickness Or Bloated, Bleeding Heavy. Taken Plan B. Is It Hormonal Change?

Hi. I'm 17 years old and on July 28th I ended my period. On August 3rd I had unprotected sex. he didnt finish inside me but we wanted to be sure no babies came from this experience. The next morning (14 hours later) I got plan b and took it immediately. I felt sick throughout the day and then was spotting a lot. About two weeks later on august 17th I got a heavy period that only lasted a couple days. Now it's September 15th and I haven't had another period? I haven't had any morning sickness or bloating or any symptoms of pregnancy but I'm worried I missed a period. If I was bleeding heavy two weeks after taking plan b would that be my period? I wouldn't be pregnant right? I'm only about 110 pounds and 5'4 so I know my hormones can act up from plan b but I'm just worried something went wrong. What should I do?

Hello
Thanks for your query.
The spotting and sickness was most definitely due to Plan B.
Plan B is notorious for altering the pattern of your normal menstrual cycles.
It can prepone or postpone your periods by a week or more.
Hence, the heavy bleeding you experienced COULD be an early period, brought on by Plan B.
As you have missed your period now, take a pregnancy test to be sure.
Have protected sex in the future.
All the best.
