Hello,
As you have irregular cycles, it is difficult to predict your fertile period and hence the risk of conception; even protected intercourse has about 15% failure rate. Your symptoms are not specific to pregnancy. It would be ideal if you can get the serum beta-hCG titres assessed along with a trans-vaginal sonogram and a physical exam by a specialist to clarify the issue. Home pregnancy tests may not help in your situation. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
