Sign to stop tanning: This may be a sign that you should stop tanning? However while tanning may increase melatonin and vitamin d levels, I am not aware of it having any effects on menses or menstrual flow. You should perform a pregnancy test at the vey least but also schedule an appointment with your gyne for testing and exam.

Unlikely: Do a pregnancy test, just in case though.

Maybe: One thing has nothing to do with another, of course you could be pregnant, but tanning and spotting are not related.
