Hello and welcome to HCM,
Irregular bleeding is usually due to irregular menstrual cycles.
A negative pregnancy test rules out pregnancy.
Irregular menstrual cycle is usually due to hormonal imbalance.
Observe your menstrual cycles and monitor the date and duration of bleeding.
Irregular bleeding for longer period of time needs to be investigated since it can be due to underlying hormonal imbalance.
Thanks and take care
