Yes, it can be normal, at first it sounded just like midcycle bleeding, this happens. The latest one seemed a little early for that, but maybe this cycle will be a little short and this would still be the explanation. Bottom line, you have had thorough evaluation and as long as your endometrial stripe is not too thick, this does not seem to be anything pathologic...Dr. von Almen
