Brief Answer:
Wait for a week..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Wait for a week after the stoppage of tablet.. Periods will start in a week's time.. This is because progesterone level has to come down for the endometrium to shed..

In case you dont get mensus in a week's time, get a repeat pregnancy test and if negative get a scan to see for endometrial thickness..

Hope I have answered your query..Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
