it may be isolated event that may have no significance. However if persistent and becomes a pattern, then more physiologic changes may be implicated and may require further enquiry. It may be hormonal changes, endometrium and uterine structural changes.

That can happen. Women not on birth control can have 1-2 abnormal cycle per year. You could skip a cycle or have an extra cycle. Sometimes it could be related to an early pregnancy, thyroid issue, polyp, etc.
