Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. Chances of pregnancy are less likely but contraceptive failure cannot be ignored. You can do a urine for pregnancy test after 1 week of missing your periods or get a serum HCG test done which is more specific than a urine test. This you can get it done even before your pill free period if menses does not occur. Hope it helps you. Regards.
