Hi,
when would you think it would be a good time to take a pregnancy test, my period is irregular and the hormonal forcaster says I should take it on the 20th jan but my last period last month came on the 29th dec.

Are you expexting your af to come on the 20th of january????
If so, then you can take a test the earliest on jan.16th - 4 days before you're expected af. Buy a "first response" test, they work the best for early testing. I would buy a pack of 2 just in case the first test comes out a bfn, and you still do not get your af on the 20th, you could wait a couple of days and then test again.
Good luck!!!! Wink

not sure if it's meant to come then but I am thinking to wait till after the 29th
see what happens, if I feel the symptoms I will but I will just wait till then.

I waited as long as possible because my cycle is so irregular.I had been charting though and knew whenever I ovulated. I always was able to take waiting for my af to show up then look at a bfn. That's my personal opinion though. I hated looking at only one little line Crying
or Very sad
