May be normal: Irregular menstrual cycles usually occur with ovulation problems in the current or previous cycle. The hormone imbalance can cause the uterine lining to shed unusual amounts of blood or discharge in an irregular fashion. If lack of ovulation is the problem, it should become regular within 1-2 cycles.
