Brief Answer:
get a serum beta hcg test done

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
If the urine pregnancy test is negative after 8 days of missed period then it is unlikely that she is pregnant. Moreover further confirmation can be achieved with a serum beta hcg test.
Hypothyoidism untreated and also stress induced hormonal imbalance are major causes of delayed period during reproductive age if pregnancy test is negative.
If the test is negative then best would be to wait for 15 days post missed period to allow natural resumption of menses and if still menses are not resumed then she can opt for withdrawal bleed with progesterones.

Yes if the hypothyroidism is not treated and she's not taking any thyroxine tabs then it can even cause amenorrhoea for few months together as well.
