Hello,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Irregular periods are a feature of hormone imbalance esp thyroid dysfunction. I assume you are hypothyroid and on thyroxine.( the thyroid tablet name not mentioned).
when periods are irregular it is difficult to predict when to test for pregnancy. So sometimes it's possible that repeat tests after a week or so turn positive. you have not mentioned when was your last cycle.

I would recommend that repeating the tests
After a period of say 10 days to two weeks to check for pregnancy.
please write back if you have any queries.
Thank you.
Dr Bhagyashree.
