Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Persistent bleeding after faint positive pregnancy result should mean you have undergone an miscarriage. False positive test( wrong test report) chances are less as you had 3 faint positive pregnancy tests.
Pregnancy with low HCG hormone (thereby faint positive pregnancy test) are very prone to undergo a miscarriage in first trimester of pregnancy. In early weeks you might not even noticed any tissue as developing foetus is very small & might be taken as a blood clot.
As you have undergone an ultrasound & nothing was found therefore you should not worry as miscarriage was complete. Now HCG hormone in urine is falling therefore even more faint pregnancy test & this will turn into negative. If bleeding persist & pregnancy test does not go negative it may indicate ectopic pregnancy.
Refer to a gynaecologist if bleeding even persists more than 2 weeks
Hope this information helps
