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.

28 days isn't really the average cycle length - that's just what birth control regulates your cycle to so that's what most people think. :) It seems to me that people who are not on HBC have longer cycles, more like 30-36 days.

In any case, bouncing between depo and the patch and whatnot is probably causing your body to be a bit confused so you may have a delayed period, or even no period for a while. If you're concerned about pregnancy, I would definitely recommend taking a test just to know. :)
