A member asked:
I have had light spotty periods for the last 3 months. i have not had sex so could it be from emotional trauma or stress/worry?

Maybe: In women with very irregular periods or perhaps only light spotting, the problem has to do with irregular ovulation. There is no doubt that stress can play a role, but this might not be the only cause. Check a pregnancy test if you are sexually active, and certainly consider talking to an ob/gyn about ways to regulate your cycle.
