Question : Hello! I skipped my period with my birth control pills. I have stopped taking them about 5 days ago. There is still no sign of my period. At what point should I consider taking a pregnancy test?

You can test right away.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

In the current scenario, you can get a pregnancy test right away.

You can go for the urine test with a fresh early morning sample. Else, you can get the estimation of the serum beta-hCG titers for a better clarification.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
