Brief Answer:
Hormonal variations

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If ultrasound scan is normal then this is due to hormonal variations.

Take any oral contraceptive pill available over the counter for 3 months. This generally corrects any hormonal variations that cause such bleeding.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
