Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. If you have had a normal period and do not suspect any pregnancy, this spotting could be a continuation of the menstrual period. This can happen with transient hormonal disturbances. Infections, especially those of te urinary tract, also can cause similar symptoms. If you do not notice any improvement within a couple of days, please see an expert for a complete appraisal of the situation. A hormone profile, trans-vaginal sonogram and urinalysis are needed to plan further management. Hope your query has been answered.
