Hi,
If you are sexually active and not on any contraception, the first thing that should be excluded is an abortion. If that is not the case, you should get investigated for any pelvic causes or hormonal disorders. Either way, such bleeding is abnormal. You should see a gynecologist immediately, get a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram, blood counts, bleeding and clotting time, urinalysis and a pregnancy test if needed. Treatment is based on the cause and meanwhile bleeding can be arrested by using styptics. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
No, it cannot be taken as normal. It could either be a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy.
You need urgent medical supervision. Please see a Gynecologist or visit an ER as soon as possible to sort this out.
Take care.
