As explained below.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone through your reports. I would suggest you get a repeat ultrasound scan to rule out any remaining products of conception. If it is clear, her periods will stabilize in 1 to 2 months. She can take a month course of calcium and iron, no issues. She should have fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink lots of water and juices.

I hope this answered your query.

Regards
