Hello, 21 to 35 days is the normal range of menstral cycle. If it exceeds this then do pregnancy tests by using simple easily available pregnancy kits. Body takes time to adjust the hormone levels. There can be delay of menstrual cycle or irregular menstrual bleeding due imbalanced hormone levels while using hormone based contraceptives especially trigestrel. The body may take 3 months or more to adjust.
