He just loves to come in my room ,and sleep in my bed, and I have been letting him do that (I did not know he had fleas) well, I have been using a flea comb and have not found any more fleas, plus I will purchase some flea treatment.
What should I do untill then? Let him sleep in my room, or kick him out? :(

Well its possible the fleas already jumped off into the carpet or your bedding. May wish to wash the bedding, treat the cat with front line or some brand of the sort, and then let him on the bed. It really isn't too horribly bad if they have jumped ship, just make sure to vacuum and put flea killer on the carpet. Good luck and you don't have to kick him if ya don't want, just know you may or may not get bit in the process. More annoying then painful.

Its your call considering that its your cat... but fleas can and do bite people. Although they can't live off of people because our skin is too thick, they certainly cause itchy discomfort. If you allow your cat to sleep in your bed, you risk re-infesting your cat after he has been treated (picking them up from the bed again) as well as subjecting yourself to bites. Personally I would wait until the cat has a clean bill of health and do a thorough cleaning before kitty returns to bed.

If he has fleas, it makes little difference whether he sleeps in your bed or not - if the fleas are going to bite you, they're going to bite you.
Just get him some proper treatment. Please do NOT buy anything from a pet store, as you will be wasting your money. No flea treatment from a pet store works, let me assure you - they're not licensed to sell the appropriate drugs. Get some Frontline, Advantage, Revolution or Advocate from your vet.
You may also need to treat your house.

The fleas will get into your bed anyways (nice thought huh?) plus you said you havent found any more fleas and he is going to get treated, so i would personally let him on the bed.

You should probably leave him out until then because I don't think you'll like to have fleas in your bed.When the fleas start to go away then you can let him sleep in your room.

No. get the cat to the vet. Get him on monthy meds for this.
THEN, absolutely, let him sleep with you.
Nothing like curling up with a cat to take a cat-nap!

you may love your cat but until it has been checked professionally you should NOT let your cat in your room especially not on your bed

Kick him out until you get the kitty treated.

It's your cat, you can do whatever you want with him as long as its consensual.
