Hi,
You can stop the stop the pill and your withdrawal bleeding will occur in the following days. You need to keep in mind that during this period and next 7 days after starting a new pack, you are not completely protected against pregnancy. In some women, stopping mid pack can delay the periods or cause spotting.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
