Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
No, the citalopram will not produce a false-positive pregnancy test. The irregular cycles, in the setting of a negative pregnancy test, is likely related to irregular or absent ovulation. If you are trying to get pregnant, then this is important to sort out why this is happening. Schedule a visit with your OB/GYN and have them perform testing of your thyroid, diabetes and PCOS.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
