Hello,
You had no periods since 7 months. Your periods are normally heavy but for 7 days you are having spotting without any cramps. You have not mentioned if you are sexually active or if you are on any contraceptive device or had unprotected sex. Only spotting can occur due to pregnancy, if you had unprotected sex and are not on any type of contraceptive device it can be indicative of early pregnancy.
Other medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms are anemia, poor general health condition, hormonal problems, PID, thyroid dysfunction, etc. You are suggested to get clinically examined by a gynecologist, get per vaginal examination done. Get other tests, investigations and imaging tests done so that it can be treated at the earliest.
You will be managed if pregnant and if not, the medical condition causing you symptoms will be treated. Take home made nutritious food rich in iron, minerals and high in protein. Maintain healthy weight. Stay away from addictions if any.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
