Hello,
If you did not use the pills on time for a week, this puts you at increased risk for pregnancy. The withdrawal method is not a reliable method of contraception as it offers very low protection, so you are at risk of pregnancy.
On the other hand, you should wait 3-4 more days. If the periods are not coming after this time then you will need to have a pregnancy test.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.
