Hello,
If she is slightly irregular, like a week, it is time you get her tested for pregnancy. If she has very irregular cycles, the time of ovulation cannot be predicted and also the safety of the time you had intercourse. Withdrawal method has high failure rate. In the current scenario, I would suggest an assessment of serum beta-hCG titres as these are more conclusive. In addition, a trans-vaginal sonogram would be helpful. Please take the help of a gynecologist, get a physical exam and also check if the thyroid status is made normal through treatment. Hope this helps.
