Per OP, your menstrual cycle IS irregular - the regular cycle is 28 days, or, you can have a different but consistent cycle (say, 21 days, each cycle).
OP: "my days apart range between 19-35 days. from dec-jan 2012 i was 38 days apart."
that is extremely irregular - you do not need a professional opinion to confirm that.
Regarding the full check-up: to save money, you first need to determine whether you are pregnant. If you are, then you will determine your next steps with that knowledge. If you are not pregnant, then you might want to do a full check-up, but possibly after waiting for a few weeks. People on here suspect that your symptoms are a result of your thinking/beliefs/worries, etc., so they may go away on their own if the blood test shows that you are not pregnant.
if cost is not a concern, then sure, get a full check-up.
