hi,
menstrual flow can change due to many reasons other than pregnancy like hormonal imbalance, anemia etc,
and also if there were any menstrual abnormalities before starting pills they can come back after stopping,
so if you want to find out the possibility of pregnancy better to go for blood test for pregnancy.
take care.
