hello dear.
understand your concern.
i advised that don't start new pack because it can more delay in your period or missed period.look pills have failure rate 0.5-1% ,so first you wait or do UPT test & confirm you are not pregnant.
in earlier stage,in some womens pills delay periods ,so don't worry ,may b its just side effects & you got your periods in 3-4 days.

if after that its not solved,then consult your doctor & do USG or hormonal test
In absence of pregnancy period can be induce by using higher dose of progesterone like medroxyprogesterone acetate injection/shot.
Do regular exercise and reduce weight. In PCOS, reduce 10 % weight help in regularise the period. You can also start metformin and spironolactone to regularize the period in PCOS after consulting the gynaecologist.
.
hope this may guide you.
best regards.
