Spotting or bleeding at mid-cycle is not uncommon and happens due to dip in hormones at that time of the cycle. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.

This is not unusual to have at some point during your menstruating years. I would say if it happens for several cycles then see your gynecologist.

Question 5

Heavy bleeding 6 days after period ended?

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections &  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 6

Dark brown bleeding 1 week after period ended. doesn't usually happen, on bcp, use protection when having sex. what could be the cause of this?

This may occur and indicate the need to change brands of OC.  Skipped pills or the use of additional medications can cause bleeding to occur. Infections and cervical masses can cause this. I am glad you are using backup protection!!
See physician if bleeding recurs.

10 days after period ended i began spotting pink. the following day it turned more red. today is day 3 of spotting. its more red and sometimes has little clots. i did take two morning after pills in the same week a month before. breakthrough bleed?

Accepted Answer

Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Tail end of blood being cleaned from uterus (often in response to imbalance of Progesterone ; estrogen).

Question 10

Had sex day after period ended feb.23, mar. switched to new bc, got period 3 days late, very lite, took hpt- negative, any chance could still be preg?

Accepted Answer

This depends on if you really got your period or if it was just light discharge.  Now you did change your birth control and so it can definitely explain your change in period.  If you didn't have intercourse after that time you mentioned, and certainly not around the time of ovulation, you are highly unlikely to be pregnant but if you're still unsure, see your doctor for an exam and test there.
