Plan B questions

Ok, so my girlfriend and I had unsafe sex, and then she took plan b 3 hours later. She missed her period by about 4 days, but she is getting pms symptoms and this morning she woke up throwing up and I thought it was morning sickness. But I read that plan B can make your period late and make you throw up days later. And yesterday (5 days after the sex) she took a pregnancy test and she wasn't pregnant. But I'm still scared that she might be Pregnant. And he period hasn't come yet and how late can it be before it does come.

Plan B is most effective the sooner after the unprotected sex you take it.  Three hours is hardly enough time to have conceived even if she had somehow happened to ovulate at that point because sperm takes a long while to actually get to the egg.  I would relax and not obsess about it.  Plan B prevents conception, and she took it within plenty of time to avoid just that.

She's fine.  Three hours is well within the time frame allotted to take Plan B.  Plan B can delay periods and cause problems.  And pregnancy symptoms?  They're almost exactly the same as PMS symptoms.  Plan B can cause all of what you mention.  I'd seriously not worry about it, especially since she has had a period.
