Yes and possibly yes. Plan B is safe, very safe which is why it is available over the counter. It is unecessary if you are taking your birth control pills regularly; one a day about the same time every day.Plan B may cause a small delay in your menses, and if you periods are very light, you may not bleed at all. That is OK. It doesn't mean pregnancy or that you pills aren't working. I hope this helps.
