Hello
Thanks for your query.
The irregular spotting could be because of birth control use.
It could also be an indicator of an early pregnancy, a failed pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy.
Please take a urine pregnancy test to confirm that.
Anxiety, stress, emotional turbulence, hectic travelling, rapid changes in weight etc could be responsible for the abnormal bleeding pattern.
Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome etc should also be ruled out by consulting a gynecologist.
take care.
