An exam: You could schedule a pelvic exam and ask for STD testing. If this only occurs around your period then you are likely just seeing blood. Blood will change in color and consistency the longer it sits in the vagina

Ultrasound: I would start with a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound.

Irregular bleeding: The best tests are done during a pelvic examination and PAP smear by your doctor. Make an appointment for an examination.
