Hi & Welcome to HCM.
Incomplete data like first day of your last menstrual period.
Although rare but yes pregnancy is possible despite of taking Plan-B within the stipulated time.
Post coital conraception like Plan-B is effective in preventing pregnancy in up to 95% of the users following an act of uprotected sex or condom breakage.
If your period is delayed then possibility of pregnancy should be ruled out by home pregnancy test on an early morning urine sample.
Good luck.
