16 days late for period, when should I get a blood test?

I am a 31 year old, sexually active female. I have had a regular 27 day cycle for as long as I can remember, with the exception of a chemical pregnancy 2 years ago. My husband and I have been trying to conceive since then with no luck. I do have a slightly under active thyroid, but I have not been taking the synthroid for some time (over a year). I do not have medical insurance at the time, I just started a new job. My LMP was June 19th, 2018 today is August 1st. I have had 3 negative HPT, but am exhibiting some signs of something. I don't know if its pregnancy or my thyroid, but I really need some advice. My breasts are swollen, nipples are puffy, areola appear different. Have been so tired and sick sometimes vomiting, sometimes not. Honestly I just feel bad and have for a couple weeks.

Congratulations?   That basically describes how most of us feel when we are in the first trimester (some longer).  Absolutely get a blood test...as your other health issues or meds may mess with a HPT or even be the cause of your symptoms and you are not pregnant.

LOL, thanks for the congrats, I truly hope that I am due a congratulations. It would be wonderful, but since I'm not getting a positive on an HPT I'm just not really expecting to be pregnant. I'm going to the doctor this coming week, hopefully that will shed some light on what is going on. But that you for your answer, maybe I am pregnant and just not as far along as I thought I could be, or maybe its low HCG levels, I duhno.
