What Causes Delay In Menstruation Other Than Pregnancy?

I had an HSG test on August 12, and now I am 8 days past the day I normally get my period (usually I am on a 30 day cycle). I took a HPT on the 2nd and 4th days of my missed period but both were negative. So, could the HSG test be causing my late period? Or is it more likely that the HPTs aren t picking up the pregnancy hormones yet?
