When your periods are irregular, it can be hard to know if you are pregnant. Some types of hormonal contraceptives, like the mini-pill and Depo Provera, cause irregular periods.
If you just want to reassure yourself periodically that you are not pregnant, take your temperature with a Basal Body Temperature (BBT) thermometer in the morning before you get out of bed. (You can get a BBT thermometer from most drug stores or by ordering online.) If your temperature is lower than 98 degrees F for 3 days in a row, you are probably not pregnant.
You can also take a home pregnancy test, which are usually accurate by the time you miss your period, or visit a local pregnancy resource center for a free, accurate test, by calling 800-395-HELP or going to http://www.pregnancycenters.org.
Best of luck,
