Unpredictable: you may go into labor any time from now to being overdue.

No exact equation: You have 7 more cm to dilate fully and another 50% effacement to be fully effaced. There is no formula as to exactly how long this will take in each individual which is why at this point you typically visit your ob/gyn weekly to keep tabs on your progress. Hang in there and good luck!

No telling...: The doctor who can truly predict the answer to the 'how much longer' question will rapidly become rich and famous. Until then, there is no way to know for sure. Best wishes.
