Brief Answer:
could be both or something else...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

does the blood come out of your vagina? Or is the urethra?
If it's the vagina then it could be your period but - since it differs from normal periods - other possibilities have to be checked. A urine pregnancy test would help. A blood pregnancy test (beta chorionic gonadotropin levels) is an even better way to rule out pregnancy.

If the fluid is coming out of your urethra then a urinary tract infection might be the cause. A urinary tract infection usually also causes symptoms like frequency, burning pain during urination, lower abdominal pain, etc. A urinalysis may reveal increased number of white blood cells, blood, etc

I hope you find my comments helpful!
