Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service. I read your query and here is my advice.

Currently you are having a delay of 8 days and you had unprotected sex multiple times so this means that you are having increased possibility of being pregnant . You have been on contraceptive pills and fertility is back immediately after stopping them.

So the best thing to do now is to do a pregnancy test to check if you are pregnant. Taking count that before you had ovarian cyst having irregular periods delay or prolonged periods may be normal while having ovarian cysts.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
