Brief Answer:
possible but get a urine pregnancy test done first.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
As you mentioned that you have taken plan -b twice in last 4 months, that is fine actually. The delay can be because of plan-b as it is known to delay your next 2-3 menses by a week or so, provided your pregnancy test has ruled out pregnancy first.

I suggest get a urine pregnancy test done first, if its negative then it is likely a side effect of plan -b and you can choose to comfortably wait for your menses to return in that case.
