Couple things: It could be some breakthrough bleeding before your cycle, which does happen on occasion. However, if the bleeding is lighter than usual and you are not on birth control and sexually active, this could be an early pregnancy and implantation bleeding. If not pregnant and it happens rarely don't be too concerned. If it happens more frequently get evaluated.

Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.
