Plan B questions

A week ago today, my fiance's condom broke. We were also using a spermicide insert but he freaked out & insisted we go to the pharmacy for a Plan B packet. I took the pills w/in 12 hours of the "slip up" - not too terribly panicky but I would like a little reassurance. Some of the physical symptoms I'm experiencing make me feel that all will be well but wanting to know if they're "normal".

W/in 24 hours of taking the 2nd pill, I began to experience pre-period symptoms: my breasts seemed to swell up and became VERY tender, began experiencing vague cramping sensations in my belly and back, have also been very "gassy" with frequent diarrea, and am clumsy as hell & just all-around crabby. This has been going on all week and I'm hoping that my "Aunt" comes soon!

Also, for those who've used Plan B, what was the average wait time between taking the 2nd pill and starting your period? Just wanting to ease Dear Future Husband's mind :)
