Brief Answer:
HSG does not delay periods.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

HSG test does not delay the periods. The delayed periods can be related to pregnancy or due to a hormonal disturbance. Early morning sample of urine is the best one to test for pregnancy. It is best to wait for 2-3 more days and test your morning sample of urine for pregnancy.

I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
