What causes bleeding?

I've been bleeding for a few days. I went to the doctor and had a vaginal ultrasound done which I was bleeding before that like a period but my doctor still confirmed my pregnancy and I'm 5 weeks 5 days

it could be a subchorionic hemorrhage. not a big deal just one of the many causes of first trimester bleeding. most resolve I  their own by the end of the first trimester.

It could be implantation bleeding.
It's usually not too heavy but in some people can actually be very much like a period. Cramping and all.
Sounds to me like it's normal, and since your doctor reassured you with an ultrasound you and your little one should be just fine.
