Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
It is important to remember that pregnancy can occur any before menopause even if your periods are irregular. Irregular periods are caused by an imbalance in hormones that control the menstrual cycle. For me, I think the only thing you can do to know whether you are pregnant or not is to do a home pregnancy test each time you miss your period.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
