why would a medical asst ask me when my last cycle was?

my last cycle was july 10 and today is july 23 the medical asst said that was 9 days ago i had blood work done on the 19 and that also in cluded a urinalysis and checking my triglyceride and etc... i don't think i have a bladder infec. because i don't have any pain when iam going to bathroom and it does not hurt to go pee. i did have unprotected sex on july 21 and now iam wondering what was found in the urine and the blood work. i did loose over ten pounds in the two months to help lower my triglyceride. what do you think.

Update:

during my dr visit on july 18 i already told them when my last cycle was .

    They always ask you when your last cycle was: it's not because they think anything is wrong with you. It's just that going a long time between periods can be a sign of some illnesses and may suggest they need to do some further investigation on you. It's like why they always take your blood pressure and weight: part of the routine maintenance aspect of medical care.
