PREGNANCY: Does plan B cause missed periods?

I am a 26 year old female with a relatively stable 30 day menstrual cycle. My last "normal" period came on June 20. On June 22, I had unprotected sex. Just to be on the safe side I took a Plan B within 24 hours. After that my menstrual flow got much lighter reducing to intermittent spotting, even though my period normally lasts for 5-6 days. I didn't have sex after that till about two weeks from June 22, when I got a urine pregnancy test done at a health center which turned out to be negative. After that I had sex about 4-5 times, with a condom which did not leak or break. My period was supposed to come around July 20, but a few days before I started spotting again, and the spotting lasted for about 5-6 days. The blood was both bright red and brownish on the tissue. I'm still waiting for my normal period, 7 days after it was due. I have been doing home pregnancy tests over the last week which are negative and again went to the health center to get a urine test done which was negative. Was the light spotting my period? And if so, did Plan B cause it to be such? How long do I have to wait to know for certain if I could be pregnant?

Thanks!
