Hello dear
I understand your concern
Plan B is 95 % effective in preventing the pregnancy. So it has 1-5 % failure rate.
Dizziness and nausea could be a side effect of the plan B pill and premenstrual symptoms.
Period can be delayed by 8-10 days as plan B contain high progesterone and it cause prolongation of second phase of the cycle.
So if your period will be delayed by more than 12 days then go for pregnancy test and or blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
If you will be pregnant then still you can terminate the pregnancy by abortion pill under the advice of gynecologist.
Avoid stress, do regular exercise, take healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
Hope this may help you
