Periods are dependant on hormones and every month period date may change slightly based on the hormone variations. For this reason, if next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle.

Will 7 inches hit the cervix?

For starters, the cervix cannot be "penetrated" during sex. There is no way for a penis or sex toy to pass through the External Os because it's just too narrow.

my doctor said I have stage two endometriosis after my first hysterectomy and now they're recommending completion surgery but I'm not getting clear reports can someone explain what this means and what to expect

Stage 2 endometriosis after hysterectomy means residual disease in other pelvic areas; completion surgery removes remaining ovaries or lesions to control symptoms.
