Wait till around 25th Nov.

Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.

It is very difficult to differentiate Whether it was withdrawal bleeding or your regular periods.

Can not tell you the exact date of your next periods, but it should mostly start by 25th of Nov.

If there is a further delay, you should consult your doctor for evaluation.

Hope this helps.
Thanks and take care.
