Hi--I'm sorry this has been such a frustrating experience for you!
It really is one of those situations that you will need to "wait and see", as no one is able to predict your next period since it has been irregular. As Susan said, it is best to use your last menstrual period as your gauge for when your next menstrual period may start...but since your periods have been irregular, you won't know if your cycle will be between 21-35 days (the "average" length of a woman's cycle, if regular) or different from this.
I'm glad you have read your patient information brochure with your prescription so closely, as you sound like a very educated patient just trying to find the last piece of the puzzle.
Provera is in the same league as Depo-Provera, a type of birth control (called "the shot"), but I would hesitate to say that having sex while using Provera briefly is considered "protected sex", but definitely go with your doctor's advice on this.
Are you trying to become pregnant, and wondering when you will know (when you can take another HPT)?
