there is one way to clear your doubts, go for an abdominal-pelvic ultrasound. it is non invasive investigation of knowing exactly what is wrong. what you are getting is intermenstrual bleeding whose causes can be from nothing to pretty serious. its advisable to seek medical advice to rule out any problems.

This is called "break through" bleeding and most likely is nothing serious. It probably occurs midway during your cycle. Unless the bleeding becomes more frequently, causes extreme pain or is heavier I wouldn't worry. It is caused by a shift in hormone levels.

It could be that your periods are irregular or there may be an infection going on. Breakthrough bleeding (as the previous poster mentioned) or spotting can be signs of irregular periods or infection. (I've had experience with both of these) The only way to find out for sure is to have this evaluated by your dr.
