Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
Cramps and increased appetite do not indicate pregnancy. As you are having irregular periods it is possible that you may get your periods a little later. Urine pregnancy test are not fully reliable if the test is performed early. My advise for you is to wait for 1 week for you to get your menstrual period. If you get your period then you are not pregnant. But if you do not get your periods even after 1 week then repeat urine pregnancy test on an early morning urine sample to know about your pregnancy status. Hope that answers your question.
Have a good day. Regards, Dr.Imaad.
