Brief Answer:
Need few more details.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
You must have finished the tablets on the 10th of January.
So you should have bled within a week.
Wait for a couple of days more, and then if you still do not have your period, please get an ultrasound scan done.
That will show the status of the lining of the uterus.
It is possible that you would need repeat dosage or combination of estrogen / progesterone pills for inducing a period.
Has this happened before in the past ?
What is your height and weight ?
Also, have you taken a pregnancy test ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
You might be having a vaginal infection.
Please consult a Gynecologist for internal exam and vaginal swab to confirm infection.
Also , get a scan done as suggested for repeat dosage.
You should get a pelvic ultrasound scan and hormonal levels ( FSH, LH, TSH ) to rule out any abnormalities responsible for irregular cycles.
