It sounds more likely like endometriosis. It is a disorder in which endometrial cells grow not just in the uterus but also on the fallopian tubes, bladder, ovaries and even bowels.
If the bleeding occurs only during your period, you could book an ultrasound (when you are about to get your period) with your gyn to have this checked.
