Cycle length.

I know the average cycle is 28 days.


My last period started December 6, 07.
I had sex the 7th, and he took the condom off and finished without my knowledge until after the fact.
I had been on Depo-Provera for nine months before, and had finished one week of the Ortho-Evra patch which started my period for the first time all year.

Now it's the seventh and I haven't had another period.
How long is too long for a cycle to go? Should I worry about pregnancy, even thought it's so unlikely?

I'm really confused.

Are you currently on hormonal birth control?

If not... I wouldn't worry too much at this point. Cycles can be really wacky when coming off of hormonal birth control (especially Depo Provera). It's not uncommon not to ovulate, and thus not menstruate, for months after stopping HBC, and people using Depo may take even longer to have a "normal" period after stopping.

If you are on the patch -- when is your patch-free week?

I had an allergic reaction to the glue the first week and haven't been on anything since the 6th.

Alrighty. In that case, I really wouldn't worry at this point, although I don't know when's the last time you were sexually active or what you are currently using for contraception.

It may be that you might not actually have a normal period for weeks or months later than normal. If you are concerned about pregnancy, there's no harm in periodically taking a test, but don't fret too much if it takes awhile for your cycles to get into any sort of pattern.
