Hi there and thank you for your question.

The menstruation which you had at the end of December and January seem to part of your normal cycle. the issue that you would then like addressed is the slight bleeding that occurred in between these dates.

Certain situations can cause bleeding in between normal menstrual times. These can include dietary changes, sudden weight loss or gain, increased physical exertion or physical or emotional stressors.

A pregnancy can also cause this issue, so I would suggest purchasing a home test kit to rule out a pregnancy. If the test is negative then this may just be an issue which should resolve on its own/ If the test is positive then you should try see your doctor or local clinic nurse please.

If you experience this problem again then you should see your doctors so they can try and rule out any possible conditions.

I hope this helps and good luck.
