Sorry, Anon, there really is no way to tell the difference between pregnancy symptoms and menstrual cycle symptoms.

Hi Anon
Thanks for your post. You may be impacted by stress, which can cause irregular periods, and you mentioned that you've had irregular periods before.
Pregnancy tests detect whether your blood or urine has a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) which is produced after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. This usually happens about six days after after fertilization. Based on the dates in your post, you may want to take another test on day seven or later to see if you get negative results again.
Hope this helps,
Pat
