Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Several: It may simply be from the cervix being eroded. However sometimes premature opening of the cervix can cause bleeding. Also placental problems such as a the placenta separating too soon or the placenta being over the cervix can do it.
