this isn't necessarily abnormal. it's possible your ovaries have mounted a "last gasp" of hormone production on a low level that has caused you to experience a mini-period. however this type of bleeding also can be a sign of something more serious. for that reason i strongly recommend you visit your gynecologist for an exam. your gyn can tell you if everything's ok or if you would be wise to have some additional testing done. your gyn also can see if the problem is simply thinning of the vaginal wall due to decreased estrogen in which case he or she can prescribe a cream to help relieve the bleeding and/or discomfort. hope this helps!
