Pregnancy worries?: If worried about pregnancy (due to not using contraception after June 12), one can do a home pregnancy test. Many women have occasional variation of their mucus discharge, some spotting between periods, a heavier period, a lighter period, a longer or shorter period, or even a missed period. Having one or two of these symptoms doesn’t always mean there is a medical problem, but Dr. can evaluate.

You didn't give much information. Could you be pregnant? Are you sure it is rectal bleeding? Do you have diverticulosis? That can cause painless rectal bleeding and can be quite serious. Get to your doctor.
