A member asked:

Not normal: Bleeding in excess of your periods is not considered normal. However in a young and otherwise healthy woman who has never had this before, i'm not very worried. As long as your pregnancy test is negative, i would not pursue it unless it happens again. At that point i would see your gynecologist for an evaluation. Irregular bleeding can be from polyps, fibroids, infections, or hormone changes.
