Abnormal Bleed: First thing to check is if you are pregnant; you need to test yourself for that. Other causes might be related to medications, infections, bleeding disorders, hormonal causes, or pathological problems of the genital tracts

See a doctor: There are many possible causes of bleeding between perios or other abnormal vaginal bleeding. At your age, common causes are hormonal; miscarriage if there is any possibility you are pregnant; and STDs like gonorrhea or chlamydia. Any new, abnormal, or unexplained vaginal bleeding needs medical attention, so see a doctor soon. Good luck!
