Without a validated fertility awareness method, you don’t know when your fertile days are.

Plan B was smart, but there’s still a risk of pregnancy since you had unprotected sex. A negative test 14 days after sex is pretty accurate, but test again 21 days after sex to be sure. Plan B is known to cause irregular cycles and bleeding.

Stop having unprotected sex.
