Hi,
You may be experiencing a breakthrough bleeding or an implantation bleed. To come to a conclusion, you should get a serum beta-hCG test as this is the earliest way to confirm/exclude pregnancy. Also, see a specialist to exclude any abnormal factors and local causes that could be causing the bleed. Hope your query is answered. Good luck.
