Stress or pregnancy would be the first two answers to pop into my head. Without knowing more about your history, I couldn't say how relevant either explanation might be to your situation. If pregnancy is a possibility, a test is in order. If not, and you have no other symptoms, then I'd wait until the next cycle before doing anything. If you have another light, spotty cycle, then making an appointment to talk with your gynecological health care provider is probably sensible.
