Light spotting sunday -(on and off on tuesday)period is not due for 2 more days. could this be stressed related? or is it normal to spot before flow?

Could be either: Stress can cause premenstrual spotting as well as normal physiologic processes for menstrual endometrial breakdown. In patients, who have fibroids this can also be a sign that they are present.
