HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Delayed bleeding can be due to different causes such as:(1) emotional stress or illness
(2)physical illness
(3)polycystic ovarian syndrome
(4)thyroid disease
(5)high levels of the prolactin hormone
(6)side effect of medication
Since you already had an ultrasound (which is not providing a cause), you may need blood tests to determine the cause.
Eg thyroid tests, prolactin,
I hope this helps
