Emergency Contraceptives + Monthly Cycle

I've been a lurker for awhile now and am in need of some advice/reassurance.

I'm not on any hormonal BCs because my family has a high risk of clots and strokes. I've used the foam spermicide with condoms, but the condom broke the other night and I was on the third day of my period. I took Plan B within 8 hours of the incident. I grilled the pharmacist before talking the pills to be aware of other medical complications I might have. I talked to my gyno, who was fairly certain my pregnancy chances were low. I talked to the spermicide company and manufactures of Plan B to try and determine their effectiveness in this case.

Has anyone had experience with Plan B while they were on their period?
