I'm only in my 30s so I'm hoping it's not premenopausal...

Hello Anonymous,
Spotting for four days instead of having a normal menstrual flow can indicate a hormonal imbalance. If you are in your 40s or 50s, fluctuation in estrogen levels may be the cause. Irregular menstrual cycles is an early sign that a woman has entered perimenopause.
Should this continue for several months, you may consider consulting your gynecologist or primary care physician to have your thyroid levels checked.
Regards,
Maryann
