Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Scanty menstrual flow during periods is called hypomenorrhea.
It can occur due to many causes like hormonal imbalance, weight changes, anemia etc.
If you had unprotected intercourse during ovulation, there is possibility of pregnancy.
Some women may have spotting during expected dates of periods even being pregnant.
Urine pregnancy kit may not detect very early pregnancy.
So, you wait for one more week.
If the spotting didn't turn into normal menstrual flow, repeat the urine pregnancy test after one week.
Possibly by that time it will give accurate result.
Take care.
