    Hi Alicia,

    There are many reasons you could start spotting.  It's best to head back to your gyn to get it checked out.  Your gyn should probably to an ultrasound to check the size of your uterus.  If the width of your endometrial tissue is over 4mm, they will need to check further.  Please don't put off going.  xx

    You should go to your gyn and get checked out for your own peace of mind. When I went for my annual gyn exam in March, one of the questions my doctor asked me was if I had any bleeding. I am 57, amost 7 years postmenopausal, and have fibroids. That's a normal question you gyn should be asking. Hope this helps.
