Hello dear
Undwrstand your concern
Athela pills taken at various time, started from the 5th day and did not complete full 21 tablets does not protect again the pregnancy.
But as you took Plan B pill, it prevent the pregnancy. If you had taken with in 24 hour then it is very (95 percent) effective in preventing the pregnancy.
Your period may be delayed due to hormonal imbalance caused by Morning after pill as it contain high progesterone.
So period may be delayed. And chance of pregnancy is less.
But if period will delay by 10-12 days from the normal expected period date then go for urine pregnancy test and or Blood HCG to confirm the pregnancy.
So chance of pregnancy is less.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
