Hi, I have just taken a pregnancy test.  I am 27 and have always had very very irregular periods.  I have charted them over the past 8 months and they have ranged from 42-52 days in length.  I think in could be pregnant.  My husband and I are not actively trying, but letting nature take its course.  I feel sick in the afternoons and have a lot of clear mucus secretion at present.  Apart from that I am find, but by my calculations I was due a period on 5 Juneish and still no period.  I took a test today and negative.  I think I could have become pregnant a few days prior to 5 June when my period was due.  Have I taken the test too soon? Many thanks, Naomi
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your cycle length may be indicative of a possible hormonal imbalance. As the mean length of your cycle is 42-52 days, a delay of more than 10 days from this period, would indicate the need for a pregnancy test. From the other hand, I would recommend performing an abdominal ultrasound to exclude possible ovarian cysts and also examine better your uterus.  Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
