After Plan B and pregnancy tests

Sorry if these are redundant!
I have read the taking EC can mess up your cycle not only for that month, but the next month as well. I took it last month and experienced breast tenderness and cramping all month before I got my period. I'm having the same issues this month. Could it be related to the EC?
Also, these symptoms also make me a little wary of pregnancy and/or that my birth control failed (I'm on the Nuva Ring.) I had them give me a pregnancy test at the doctor's office this morning and it was negative. Even though my period isn't due for another week, it's been a full 18 days since I last had sex. Can I expect the results to be reasonably conclusive? It was with urine that had been in my bladder all night.
Thanks!

Hi lola722, welcome!

Yes, as I said "Plan B can have an effect on the cycle following the one during which you took it, so I’m betting that is what is going on." Ok?
Take care,
