A member asked:
If i have very irregular periods, when should i take a pregnancy test and be accurate? some say it took them more than 8 weeks to know if they r preg!

About a month: After your last period. The ideal time to do a pregnancy test is 4-5 days after a missed period. However, as you have irregular periods, a practical strategy may be do the test about a month after the last period and if you still do not get your period a week later, you may repeat the test.
