If I have irregular cycles, and don't know when my next period is due, how long after intercourse should I wait to take an hpt?

I would wait approx 2 weeks from when you have intercourse (thats what I did in the past as i'm irregular too) if you get a neg HPT don't be discouraged, wait another week and try again! best wishes

I would say 4 to 5 weeks. But not knowing when you ovalate, or when you period is due makes it hard to say when you got pregnant if you are.
