Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The bleeding you had could be ovulatory bleeding, that can be seen in some women due to hormonal effect.
Pain also can be seen during ovulation due to causes like irritation of peritoneum, stretching of ligaments etc.
Refer:http://srsree.blogspot.in/2012/08/mittelschmerz.html
Sometimes ovarian cysts can also lead to pain abdomen.
If you are having suspicion about it, better to go for ultrasound once.

Take care.
