Answer
Hi,

I would definitely go to the doctor and have them do a pregnancy test on you (blood test) you need to have a Beta HcG test.

While you are there maybe you can address your irregular periods. The fact that you did get a  positive result on the home test tells me that indeed you could very well be pregnant.

The reason for the negatives and the positive: the pregnancy hormone HcG starts being produced soon after conception.  The number doubles every other day. So it takes a few days, weeks even, to reach a level high enough for a home test to pick up. Most home tests pick up HcG at about 100. So if you test too early you may get a negative, but you could very well still be pregnant and your HcG is just too low.

But if the test read positive: it picked up HcG over 100.
good luck- I hope it all works out for you.
