What Causes Persistent Vaginal Bleeding While Having Positive UPT Results?

Hi I have been bleeding for about 5 wks now I went to the gum clinic to check everything was ok they told me I was pregnant done a test that was also positive I'm still bleeding my cervix is closed but got a virginal scan yesterday she said she can't see any baby and am I pregnant. My hgc is in its 80s and I have to go back tomorrow to get blood tests again I'm so worried is there a possibility I can be pregnant still or misscarried ?

Hi, a positive pregnancy test means that you are pregnant but your hcg value is low. So only after checking the second value, it can be confirmed. If your value doubles in 48 hours it's good but if it doesn't then most probably you had a miscarriage. Hope I answered your question. If you have any other questions I will be happy to help.
