I am not on my period but I am bleeding (not heavily). I have read on the internet that this can be a sign of cancer. I will visit my doctor but I just wanted anyone to share their knowledge and experience.
Additional details: I am 23-years-old and pregnancy is definitely not a possbility. I do not take any oral contraceptives.
Thanks guys.

Dont worry until you've found out if theres really a problem. Its not uncommon to lightly bleed mid cycle. It could also be that your period is irregular and you are actually menstrating. Only be concerned if the bleeding doesn't stop, if you experience pain or if you bleed following sex. For peace of mind have a check up, it is however very uncommon for women under the age of 40 to have cancer in the gyne area.

It can be anything but it is likely NOT to be cancer. I bleed for 12 weeks and didn't know why. It can be your hormones, cists,stress or anything.Try not to worry as you will get stressed and then more than likely bleed more. The best thing is to go to the doc's.I know exactly how you are feeling-I hope it stops soon! X

I would see the doctor just in case - better safe than sorry and you really don't want cancer anywhere in there (or anywhere else for that matter).
I hope you don't have cancer!

The worst thing you can do is browse the internet - you find too much stuff on it.
There are several things that can cause mid period bleeding:
1) Polycystic ovaries
2) Fibroids
3) Endometriosis
Hopefully you are up to date with your smears ?!?! :-)
If this becomes a regular occurence then you will need to see a gynae to see if they can rule out any of the above.
Good health & good luck.
