if the repeat pregnancy test is negative, you can consult doctor to put u on tablets to bring you menses.You need to loose weight and repeat the scan and hormonal tests again aftr fw months.If needed you can get a d & c done from your gynaec.
Lynsay,
you need to repeat the scan and test after 3 months.Meanwhile there are medicines that you bring about your menses.Consult your doctor for that.
