Dear madam,I understand your concern.in my opinion though the enlargement of areola,tiredness and cramping seen in pregnancy but as the pregnancy test is negative it may not be the cause.moreover you have a history of irregular periods.so better rule out the causes of irregular cycles like thyroid abnormalities,ovarian causes like polycystic ovarian disease(POCD) and hyperprolactinaemia.so dont worry consult a gynae to rule out the cause and apt treatment.relax once the cause is treated your cycles will become irregular.
