Hallow Dear,

Your most symptoms, including irregularity in the menses seems to be due to Plan B pill you have consumed.

Plan B pills contain progestational medicine. Progesterone does cause nauseating feeling leading to some dizziness. This is due to stomach acidity. Some proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole will give you some relief from this.

Furthermore, Plan B pills cause some bleeding few days after its consumption. Therefore you had some spotting for few days which ultimately ended in regular menstruation. This needs no treatment.

Next time you would get your menses regularly.

I hope this helps you.
