Hi, I think you should do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy first. If negative, you have to stop taking the birth control pill or finish the course to get your periods. You can't get periods while you are using the pills. So, you have to wait to finish the complete course or you have to stop it now. If pregnancy test is positive, stop taking the pills right away and consult a gynecologist.
