Brief Answer:
You should go for further investigation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

As you stopped bleeding last couple of months, may be you are going in menopause but as you are spotting for one month, it is better to go for further investigations to rule out the cause.

It could be due to hormonal disturbances,polyp
Fibroid and endometrial carcinoma.

So get your pelvic ultrasound along with hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy to rule out the above mentioned causes.

Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.
