If you are not having other symptoms like pain or fever then this is normal. But if you have these symptoms then possibility of infection is more. So consult gynecologist and get done clinical examination if you have these symptoms.

The dark red/brown bleeding stopped for 2 days and once I got a yellow discharge, but today it has started again, like a pinkish colour? Should I be worried?
