Yes its not uncommon , i take it you have found some ? It can be caused by many different reasons .. i had it after a night of trying to dance once .. :bandance; I was told to keep an eye on it , but it usually goes after one or two exchanges. If you find it increasing , tell the hospital though!

It is probably a sign that you were overdoing it with physical activity-lifting or straing those muscles.  Also, women may notice bloody bags when they are on their period.
