Brief Answer:
About the spotting and mood swings

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Well this sounds disconcerting! My guess is that increased intercourse has stimulated your ovaries and that caused a release of estrogen. An unsteady hormonal release may have caused the mood swings. And that same surge (of estrogen) and drop may explain the spotting too. That said, however, after a woman has gone thru menopause, it is recommended to investigate any vaginal bleeding.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if I can provide further information.
