Hi,
Your bleeding could be either hormonal imbalance or implantation bleeding (that is seen in early pregnancy. You should check for pregnancy after a week. In case it is negative, get consultation of a gynecologist for hormonal imbalance, if the same pattern of menses repeats next month also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
