I am so sorry for your loss.

Bleeding this heavy needs to be checked out. With a recent miscarriage and a positive test a week later, this may be normal but it may be some retained tissue from the pregnancy loss. A sonogram and quantitative HCG levels will be able to confirm the appropriate resolution of the miscarriage.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
