Maybe give some free advice about: Pregnancy?
Your cycle may be thrown off because of the Plan B, especially if you have already experienced a "normal period". Typically, after your uterus sheds, the chance of you still being pregnant is very low. If you do not get your period on Monday I wouldn't panic, it could just be that your cycle was moved around because of the Plan B. You may still get one on Monday or it may end up being later in the month, closer to the 25th.
I'm sure, after the stress that you endured, that you know you need to make some serious changes regarding your birth control practices.
First of all, I must point out that even if your partner did not finish inside of you, you would still be just as likely to be pregnant. The "pull out" method is NOT an effective form of birth control on its own, and is usually practiced incorrectly. Before ejaculation, the penis excretes small amounts of semen, referred to commonly as "pre-cum". The male cannot feel this excretion, he has no idea that it is happening, and there is absolutely not way for him to control or stop it. Planned Parenthood gave the following statistics:
Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 4 will become pregnant each year if they always do it correctly.
Of every 100 women whose partners use withdrawal, 27 will become pregnant each year if they don't always do it correctly.

If you continue to have sex, I would STRONGLY recommend that you use another form of birth control, be that an oral contraceptive or a condom.
Secondly, I must also bring up the risk of sexually transmitted disease (STD) that comes with having sex without a condom. Many men carry STDs without even knowing that they have it. Before having sex with someone I would urge you both to be tested. However, I know this is not entirely common so at the very least it is so so so important that you use a condom. It is best, until proven otherwise, to assume that a condom is necessary. It's not mean. He shouldn't be offended. You are protecting yourself not only from pregnancy, but from illness and he should respect that. Although, I must be honest, it does not sound like your current partner has much respect for you. Which brings me to my final point.
I find it incredibly concerning that your boyfriend finished inside of you after you explicitly told him not to. That is not right, and I think you should seriously consider if this is the kind of person you want to continue to have sex with. I cannot stress enough, the importance of trusting your partner. This is a serious red flag. He put you at risk. He didn't care about your safety or your well being or your wishes. That is so, so, so, not okay and I really hope that you can see that too.
I'm not trying to scare you or make you more distressed. I do not think that you are pregnant but I do think that you should remember this feeling and make some serious changes to avoid feeling like this ever again.
Even if I'm coming off harsh, I'm not trying to sound like I judge you. I have been in your shoes too. Perhaps you already know all of the information above, I have no way of knowing that or not. But I would hate to think that if by some chance you didn't, that I didn't at least try to help.
Take care.
