Irregular periods: A lot of things can affect your periods besides pregnancy. If you happen to be on the pill this sort of pattern can actually be normal. The home tests are pretty reliable so you should be safe for now. Wait and see what happens going forward over the next month or so, assuming that you feel ok otherwise.
