No w/drawal bleeding - still start pill?

Hello,
Definitely new to this board. ... Just have some questions for those who might know something about irregular periods - what was your doctor's advice or what have you done in your situation if it was similar?
For me, the doctor prescribed the progestin pills - 10 days. She said to start Sunday - which is actually today - on the birth control pills AFTER the withdrawal bleed from the progestin pills. ... The problem is, I haven't had that bleed yet. I will try calling someone at the clinic later today, though I'm not sure if I'll get an answer. ... But, more questions: if I didn't bleed, should I assume that I wait it out to take the birth control until I do? (... which would delay the start to next Sunday assuming it happens sometime during the week...) or am I just supposed to start?
I'm kind of nervous since I don't want to mess up whatever I've been placed on. I remember the doctor saying that sometimes the bleed could happen 2-3 days after stopping the progestin... I just can't remember if she specifically said to take the birth control on Sunday no matter what - I do recall her saying to start after the bleed.
Thank you for your time and consideration! I appreciate any advice or stories of experience to help me learn more.
