Hi & Welcome.

Taken within 72 hrs following an unprotected sex, Plan-B is 52–94% effective in preventing pregnancy. Plan-B is more effective the sooner after intercourse it is taken.

Since you also had unprotected sex on two occasions during your most fertile period (ovulation), there is a possibility of pregnancy.

So, if your next period gets delayed get the home pregnancy test done.

Take care.
