Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs around a week after completion of the treatment. Sometimes, when the hormonal levels are low it may take 10 days. If you do not get a period even after this period, contact your doctor. You will need a complete evaluation for conception to be successful as PCOD is a hormonal disorder.

Please consult an endocrinologist for a hormonal work up and in consultation with a gynecologist, alone with tubal patency tests and a transvaginal sonogram.

Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
