When should I take a pregnancy test if my periods are irregular?

Question

I have always had extremely irregular periods, some months i don’t have them at all and other months i’ll bleed for 3 weeks. Sometimes I have symptoms of pregnancy but I never know when to take a test because they always say “after a missed period” but i never know when that is. Someone help

Answer

I think the first step would be to rule out a condition causing this. You could not even be ovulating and therefore reduced chances of conceiving. Until then, test once a month for pregnancy unless you feel undeniable pregnancy symptoms. I missed my first pregnancy because I have irregular periods and other health issues. I had gotten a negative test when I thought it was just too long between periods. Weeks later I was getting UTI symptoms and feeling waves of sickness during the day. So I tested and found out I was pregnant. I was like 14 weeks pregnant so it’s not impossible but you def dont want to get used to thinking it’s just irregular cycles. I’m regular a few months then it will go wacky so then I test for pregnancy every month until it goes back.

Answer

Earliest I have gotten is 11DPO and 4 days after implantation.

Answer

So you have your period right and for a lot of people ovulation is a week after your period but you can check it with tests. And if you can figure out when you ovulated then waiting 14 dpo should show it

Following! I have the same type of cycles and it’s tough.
