Can Intake Of Plan B Cause Irregular And Heavy Periods?

I took plan b after an incident on march 2nd and had a period that included heavy bleeding and cramps for 6 days straight starting March 7th. My next period was supposed to start April 1st and has not come yet. I ve taken three pregnancy tests (first response) and all were negative. During the week that I was supposed to have my period I had some mild cramping but still nothing. Please help!
