Keep at it! Sometimes it takes more than two weeks. It is standard mouse colony practice to give a pair or group a full 2 MONTHS to produce a litter before giving up.
How old are your mice, again?

I found the mouse pregnant today
Now
At this point either pull two females at the same time and put them in a new cage, or house them separately. Give them plenty of nesting material and, if possible, a paper or plastic house for inside the cage. These environmental enrichment items provide a more natural environment that keeps the mice happy & productive.
Thank you FungusDream

Keep at it! It's not really uncommon for a female to cannibalize her first litter.
Does she have some kind of nesting material?
