Most likely normmal: Its not unusual to have a different cycle now and then. If you are not using birth control, it is reasonable to check a pregnancy test.

Last normal period?: When was your last normal period? Some women may have a few days of light bleeding or spotting between periods. This usually occurs around the time of ovulation. It is not dangerous for you, but can be annoying.

No: It is not normal , but if can happen due to a number of not serious cause or rarely from something serious.. If you are worried , you should go to your gyn for an exam and evaluation. If you elect to wait, you should be evaluated if it happens the next cycle also.
