Don't worry yet: . Menstrual cycles can be very irregular in starting. Sometime there is a family history of irregular starting. The menstrual cycle is affected by physical environmental and emotional stress. Body mass also has a significant effect on your menstrual cycle. So world-class gymnast may have such a low body fat that they may not have a menstrual cycle at all whereas overweight women may have much more irregular cycles. Emotional stress and even the time of year may affect the menstrual cycle. If the urine is not burning or causing frequency her discomfort, I wouldn't worry about it yet

Here are some ...: Besides seeing blood in the urine, have you had any urinary symptoms such as urinary frequency, burning voiding discomfort, etc.? If yes, at the least urinary tract infection has to be considered; if not, what you sow in the urine may just be a part of your regular period. Meanwhile, it may be the time to see gynecologist if something can be done for lingering period irregularity.
