Brief Answer:
Progesterone deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular bleeding and spotting can be due to hormonal disturbances like progesterone deficiency.
The bleeding will continue till the entire endometrial lining is shed and then the body will readjust.
However, if this pattern of bleeding occurs repeatedly, then you should be given progesterone support regularly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
