Hello,
1. To confirm you are pregnant you need to check with home pregnancy kit.
2. As you said you are hypothyroidism patient, thyroid hormone level imbalance can also cause irregular menstruation.
So my advice is to check with your thyroid hormone level every three months to adjust the dosage accordingly.
3. Wait for few more days as the normal length of the cycle is 28-40 days and still, if you don't get then you can take tablet Norethisterone twice a day for 3 days and then stop, you will get your periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
