Brief Answer:
Plan B can delay periods
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for trusting to us.
I understand your concern but there is nothing to worry about.
As you may know Plan B is a large dose of hormone progesterone ,hence use of plan B can cause hormone imbalances and delay periods.
While you have used regular birth control plus Plan-B and the most important is negative pregnancy test ,you haven't chances to be pregnant.
Be calm and wait for vaginal bleeding,because they will come soon .
All the best
