Hi
I would suggest you to take the pregnancy test again after a week since false negative result is possible.
If the test is negative,hormonal pills should be taken along with metformin in order to regularise your cycles.3 months treatment may be required.Hypothyroidism should also be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
