Brief Answer:
Wait for 3-4 days more

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Withdrawal bleeding can occur within 7-10 days of stopping the norethisterone tablet ( DUB tablet).
I will suggest you to wait for 3-4 more days for the withdrawal periods to come.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Due to PCOD

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Delayed periods are likely due to PCOD.
If bleeding do not occurs, then you should take medroxyprogesterone acetate ( deviry) twice a day for 5 days to induce periods.
