Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. In the current scenario, the most likely cause for this spotting is the breakthrough effect. As there is unopposed estrogen action in the absence of ovulation, the endometrium gets thickened. At some stage, the blood supply is no longer sufficient and hence, the endometrium is shed in pieces. This gives rise to brownish spotting. Clinical and sonographic confirmation is necessary to exclude other causes. Progesterone course along with styptics is sufficient to heal. Please maintain a healthy lifestyle. Take care.
