I have irregular periods (ranging 12-38 days in between periods). when can i take a pregnancy test and expect accurate results?

About 40 days: Home pregnancy test should be done 4-5 days after a missed period. However, given the wide range of your cycle, it would be okay to test 40 days after the last period. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the kit carefully.
