Irregular bleeding: It's not that terribly uncommon for women of childbearing age to have some kind of irregular bleeding or irregular cycles at some point during their childbearing years which it sounds like you are having. Do you take birth control? Because this can cause this as well. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless it keeps occurring month after month after which I would talk to your doctor about it.
