Hallow Dear,
I do empathize your confusion because of bleeding with positive pregnancy test. Any bleeding during any stage of pregnancy is considered as a risk signal unless and until proved otherwise. Your urine and blood tests have proved beyond doubt that you are pregnant.
Now because there is bleeding, I would advise you to go for ultrasonography which will provide you information about:
1. Whether the baby is viable or not. It takes abut a week or more for the pregnancy test to get negative even after the baby has become non-viable. Ultrasonography can give you reliable visual evidence.
2. The site from where the bleeding is coming. If it is from behind the chorionic tissue, you may have to restrict yourself to the bed and support the pregnancy by Progesterone. Folic acid may hep you.
Any way, start Folic acid tablets to safeguard your pregnancy and baby.
I hope this helps you.
