Brief Answer:
Please consult doctor and get an ultrasound done.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns today.

Even a faint positive Pregnancy test means that you are pregnant. It is unlikely to have two false positive tests unless there is defect in the kits used. But the second pregnancy test done in August should have been very clear.

From your notes you seem to be having breakthrough bleeding. This is the bleeding from lining of uterus occurring as the body is getting adjusted to pregnancy and this is normal.

To make things clear, please consult doctor and get an ultrasound done.

If you have further concerns, do write to me.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

is it normal for the bleeding to get heavy towards the end of my cycle? it's real late for a few days and the last day gets heavy. I don't know if I should be concerned about that.
