Light brown spotting, cause of stress or pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either one.: If you are practicing unprotected sex, pregnancy is always a possibility. Check a home pregnancy test when the package says you should do it to be accurate. If you keep spotting see your doctor to find out why.
