How long do you wait to contact doctor?

I went off birth control pill for christmas. it was for the normal week of ovulation if I hadn't been on pill. Husband and I have had sex numerous times. Still no period and I've been having sore breasts, grew a cup size, mood swings, lower back pain, bloating and gassiness. The home pregnancy tests have been negative. How long do I wait to contact doctor with no period?
