Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion a urine pregnancy test gives accurate results if done a week of missed period.Usually normal menstrual cycle varies from 21 to 35 days.As you had irregular cycles the causes for it like thyroid abnormalities,pcod,overweight,obesity or stress need to be evaluated.The optimum weight for your height is 54 kg.So consider losing weight as weight reduction of even 10% will cause the cycles regular.
