Hi'
Welcome to the forum
Irregular periods often lead to the miscalculation of the menstrual cycle dates. If you had un-protected intercourse, your chances of being pregnant are there. Sometimes due to low level of HCG in the urine, pregnancy test may give false negative results.
You should have a repeat pregnancy test with a kit with your early morning mid stream urine ( HCG content in the first early morning urine is likely to be more concentrated ). You can also get a blood test done to detect HCG and confirm pregnancy.
Other signs of pregnancy are nausea, vomiting, feeling dizzy, fatigue, sensitivity to smell, frequent urination,etc. You should get clinically examined if you are pregnant and get all routine blood and urine tests done.
Eat well, drink plenty of soups, juice. Take nutritious and balanced home made food. Take care

Irregular periods can be for a couple of reasons and not only pregnancy . Infection of the womb is one possible explanation . Urine pregnancy test are not 100% reliable, I suggest you see a doctor to confirm that you are not pregnant and to treat any other abnormality he might find. Regular Gynealogical tests are important to protect your fertility health.
