Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances or due to breastfeeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, polycystic ovarian disease, excessive stress or due to breastfeeding.
Blood hCG of 6 is negative for pregnancy, and that is why the urine pregnancy test is negative.
If you are breastfeeding, then you periods may be delayed.
Moreover, since you ultrasound shows an endometrial thickness (ET ) of 13 mm, it is suggestive of the fact that you will be getting your periods by next week.
If you do not get your period by next week, you can take progesterone tablets to induce periods and get yourself investigated for hormonal disturbances.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
Dr Deepti Verma
