I've been spotting continuously for the past 2 weeks. My actual period was January 15 and lasted 7 days, after which I started spotting a week later. I have irregular periods and use Xulane patches, which usually help keep my periods normal. This time, the birth control seems to have stopped working. I had an irregular Pap smear result in June 2023, but my doctor said it was nothing to worry about. I haven't had any stomach pain, dizziness, or vaginal discharge. What could be causing the spotting, and should I be concerned?

My period has stopped for over five years now. How can I gain it back? I am 46 years old, and this irregular menstruation problem started when I was 39 years old. I was told I have no eggs since I don't ovulate. Recently, I have seen some staining of blood. I am not using any contraceptives or medications.
