Period question, well kinda?

I just went to the bathroom and wiped and had a TINY TINY amount of blood on the toilet paper..like not even bright red kinda like a pink but really light reddish..i just had my period not this past wednesday but the wednesday before.so i know i'm not getting it again.however i just got off the birth control pill...i had been on it for 3 years and just got off it.i wouldnt even call it blood, i really don't know what it was.it wasn't discharge either just looked a little pink very light red and VERY SMALL.anyone know what it could be?Period question, well kinda?
As long as you aren't having any discomfort urinating I wouldn't be too concerned. A little spotting between periods isn't unusual when you have hormonal changes (such as starting or stopping birth control pills). If you do have any discomfort when urinating or you're going a tiny bit frequently you could have a bladder infection (sometimes called UTI).
Even if you're spotting frequenly I wouldn't be concerned unless you're experience pain or other symptoms. Cylce irregularities are very common when coming off birth control. Hope this helps!
It may be what is called "break through bleeding", either when you get on or off of birth control pills, it sometimes throws your cycle off a bit. Keep an eye, if it becomes more or painful, call your doctor, but at this stage I wouldn't even worry about it.
