Hello dear
I understand your concern
You have taken the plan B pill with in the 12 hours of the sex.
It is highly effective in preventing the pregnancy around 95-97%.
So it has just 0-3 % failure rate.
Withdrawal bleeding is not occur in all user of the Plan B pill.
There is no relation between withdrawal bleeding and pregnancy chance.
Period can be delayed by the 8-12 days from the normal expected period date as it cause prolongation of second phase of the cycle.
Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you

Best regards
Dr. Sagar
