Hi..
Thanks for the query...
You can wait 2-3 days for your periods...
When you are on birth control pills there can be scanty bleeding..
Pull out method has more failure rate..but because you are on birth control pills no problem.
Get one pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant...
Take care..
