Spotting

Spotting can occur for many reasons, but the most significant would be early pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy. Irregular bleeding can also occur due to an occasional abnormality in the natural hormone cycle or because of an ovarian cyst. Spotting is also a common side effect of hormonal contraceptives. Are you sexually active and are you using birth control? An appointment with an OBGYN if you haven't seen one recently would be a good idea. Establishing care with a doctor so that such issues can be monitored and addressed is important.
It sounds like you may be pregnant. First, get a pregnancy test and see the OB-GYN. Evaluation will be made if this is due to pregnancy and if it is a normal pregnancy and not a threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out, then evaluation will be done to determine if this is due to something physical like an ovarian cyst, or something hormonal. It is important that you see your doctor right away.
It could be that you are pregnant. If you have already missed a period I would strongly recommend getting a urine pregnancy test done assuming that you are sexually active. You may also have missed your period from not having ovulated due to stress. If you are not pregnant I would see an OB/Gyn to have an exam and blood work performed, however if you are pregnant it would also be wise to see an OB/Gyn. Good luck.
