Hello dear,
Understand your concern.

Following are the reason for late periods with spotting:
1. High level of stress
2. Change in life style
3. Late ovulation
4. Excessive exercise
5. Drugs: Birth control pills, tyroid medication, Excessive tea and caffeine
6. Thyroid problem
7. Hormonal imbalane
8. Precancerous condition of cervix
9. Endometriosis
10. PCOS
11. Adenomyosis and endometriosis

Do regular walking and exercise.
Eat healthy diet
Take fruits like papaya, orange and pomegranate
Take plenty of water
Avoid stress

Also note that
Menstruation required co ordinate action of various hormone that secreted by ovary (estrogen and progesterone) and brain (FSH and LH).
If any above hormone is decreased or increased there is imbalance in menstruation.
So please do full hormonal profile : Estrogen, progestron, LH, FSH, HCG and thyroid hormone.
That help to diagnose hormonal imbalance.
After confirmation you can take treatment according So please go ahead.

Hope this may help you
All the best.
Stay healthy.
