Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or due to effect of plan b which is a emergency contraceptive pill, and has a known side effect of delaying the next expected periods by 2-3 weeks
Since you had irregular menstrual cycle previously also, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease should also be ruled out.
I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done and if negative then do consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
