You need to understand that there is a wait period of up to 10 days after the last dose
So if you have waited for only a week after completion of the course wait for three more days
They only reason why you would not get your periods after completing the course and waiting as advised would be pregnancy
Pcos patient who are overweight tend to have delayed periods
Pcos only requires Lifestyle modification

Hi. It may take upto 14 days for periods to come after stopping the medication.
So dont worry on that.
And if you dont get your periods even then, consult a doctor.
Also I assume you are a student under a lot of stress and stress is one of the factor you have irregular periods.
Until you improve on that, medication might not help you.
Next Steps
wait and watch and consult a gynac after 10 days.
