Probably normal: A "dipstick" urine test is very sensitive to hemoglobin in the urine, and even a few red cells will register as "positive" for blood. The key would be to see the "microscopic" results (not always done in the lab, depending on indications). Up to 10 rbcs per high power field is normal for a female, and usually needs no further evaluation. For peace of mind, it could be repeated later, but probably.
