It : It is common for some women to experience bloody discarge or break through bleeding as a result of fretilized egg implantation into the uterus. This can manifest as a bloody or pink discharge and can be an early sign of pregnancy. However, it sounds more like you are experiencing an abnormal menstral cycle which can have several different causes. Additional bleeding can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, endometriosis or other problems involving your reproductive organs. It is prudent to make an appointment to connect with your doctor to assess why you are experiencing an abnormal menstrual cycle.
