I have purchased a female crested gecko around half a year ago and she has been alert and eating well. She has laid two pair of eggs for me thus far and seems to be gravid again.

The problem is, when I fed her tonite, I found that her last dropings are lighter in color, more "watery" and have red stuff on them (I assume those are blood). Is she sick? Or did I overbreed her? (I put her in a cage with a male around a week after I got her and I have no idea if she has just finished laying prior to when I got her or not).

Any ideas? Thanks.

I say blood in droppings is a good way to say take her to the vet ASAP. It could be a very serious problem. As for putting her in a cage with a male a week after you bought her was a bad idea. If she has/had something wrong with her (parasite or something like that) then she could have passed it on to the male.
