Brief Answer:
You are alright.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
This can happen once in a while. It can be due to fluctuation in the hormonal levels. If there is no intermenstrual bleeding or a persistent spotting then there is nothing to worry. In case it is recurrent then hormonal treatment like oral contraceptives will help you.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
