Brief Answer:
You should wait and watch for your menses.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As you had unprotected sex than the chances of pregnancy have always been there in your case but as you had high dose birth control pills, the chances of pregnancy are quite low.

You should wait and watch for your menses. I will suggest you test for pregnancy using home urine pregnancy test, if period does not resume within 7 days of expected period date.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
Regards
