Hi,
Plan B is to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex (earlier the better results). If it is taken late, the pills will not prevent the possible pregnancy. After you take plan B in time, there is withdrawal bleeding after 8 days of pill, pregnancy is prevented and normal date of next period is delayed by 8-10 days.
Now, if you have taken emergency contraceptive in time, you will escape pregnancy and your period will be delayed by 8-10 days. In case you don't get period within 15 days delay of expected date, you should go for pregnancy test &consult your gynecologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
