Dear Anon,
Thank you for your post.
Sometimes there is such a thing called breakthrough bleeding which can occur at any time between periods. Breakthrough bleeding CAN be a symptom of pregnancy--it is usually spotting and rarely heavy bleeding.
Have you taken a pregnancy test? If you truly feel like you have symptoms of pregnancy I'd recommend taking a home pregnancy test. If it comes back positive, please see your OB/GYN asap due to the bleeding. Many women experience some type of bleeding during their first trimester but it is important to be evaluated by a professional to make sure that you have a viable pregnancy.
Best of luck to you
