What Causes Delay In Periods While On Plan B?

So, me and my husband had unprotected sex ( less than a minute) on the 26th of July and he didn t ejaculate inside me. Then again on the 30th we had unprotected sex ( the whole time) and he didn t ejaculate inside me. On the 2nd ( within 72 hours) I took the plan-b pill and got my period on the expected date which was July 4th. The period was normal, 5-days long period, that started out heavy and got lighter. But, now as I am waiting for my second period, I do not have any pms symptoms. I am six days late now ( period due Aug 3rd). Could this be the plan-b side effect or are there possibilities that one can still get pregnant after she had her menstruation. I am confused because I thought the menstruation means I am on the clear zone and everything is flushed out of my system. Could anyone knowledgable please shed some light on this and help me out? I do not want to be stressing out for no reason and get my period delayed even more. Thank you so much!

Dear Madam,thank you for your consultation.it seems that what you know is right ,that is if someone is menstruating she is not pregnant.I think the delay of starting your menstruation is because of side effects of Plan B pill which is a hormonal pill.so please wait for some day with patience and in a relaxed mood.I am sure you will have your period within a couple of days.thank you.
