Welcome to EmpowHER! And thank you so much for your question.
I wonder if you need to have your hormone levels tested. Hormones are what regulate our cycles, and yours may be low. Since your periods are infrequent at best, and now you're having a bit of breakthrough spotting, it may be that your hormones are struggling to regulate themselves. Do make a doctor's appointment with an ob/gyn and ask this question, OK?
Here's a page from Dr. Spock that talks about this:

I know this is a very busy time of year, but will you promise us you'll make an appointment? And that you'll come back and update us?
