If you have irregular periods how do you track your pregnancy?
Im very anxious to know but my periods are irregular if my last m/c was on the 11 of last month I have irregular periods but my bf *** in me twice to days after I got off my period and three days afterwards now if I got off on the 21 what would be my ovulation date? Now idk if its to soon to have syptoms but ive been craving shrimp today, yesterday woke up with horrible cramps, break out on face, dry skin, I was constipated, I have heartburn alot, pee frequently more, my boobs feel heavy, little white/brown discharge in panties. I stopped smoking in case I am but does these sound like syptoms and if I am pregnant how many weeks am I also when could I track my next period thanks ;)

It depends how irregular your periods are. Do they vary by one or two weeks or do you get an eleven month gap between two periods then a third five weeks later?
If your periods are only slightly irregular (ie you have at least one every eight weeks), take a pregnancy test today. If it's negative, wait 3 weeks and take another just to be certain.
If your periods are very irregular (ie you have three per year or fewer on average), you are probably not ovulating anyway, so you probably have nothing to be worried about. Take a pregnancy test just to be on the safe side. If it's negative but the symptoms persist for three weeks, take another. If that's also negative, see your GP, as you may have a hormone imbalance which would be relatively easy to correct.
The symptoms you have described could all be caused by you thinking that you are pregnant, sort of like the placebo effect or a sympathetic pregnancy. They could also be caused by a bad diet, dehydration, etc. In future, use a condom and take better care of your body.
