Is my vaginal bleeding/excretion normal?

I am 22 years old and recently, this weird thing happened to my period. Normally my period starts at the 26th or 29th of the month. So this August 29, I started bleeding and I thought it s my period already, the next day the bleeding stopped and just turned into spotting. I was thinking that it might be just a form of amenorrhea since I started exercising a bit and eating a bit less. Then on September 7, the spotting got heavier and then on September 8 my actual period started. It seemed normal at that point. But it s been a week since my supposed last day of period and I still get light bleeding once in a while. And when I dont bleed there is a lot of vaginal excretion which is sometimes light yellow or a very light brown, it does not have any foul smell. I am just worried that it s been a week and I still get abdominal pain and random light vaginal bleeding. If it helps, I only took birth control pills for 2 months and it was November and December 2015. My last intercourse is 3 months ago. I just want to know if I should worry. Please help.

Hello.  No, I don't think this sounds 'normal' although normal is very broad.  Spotting and continuous bleeding of some sort is often a hormonal imbalance.  I think you need to see a doctor to find out what is going on.  It takes a LOT of exercise (as in Olympic athlete type of training) to cause a period to stop due to that so you may be a bit irregular when you change a routine but not really in the fashion you are talking about.  So, schedule an appointment with a doctor or go to Planned Parenthood or some other clinic for an exam .  Let us know what they say.  good luck
