Spotting is not a sign of pregnancy. You can take a home pregnancy test to be sure. Spotting can be caused by either a functional disorder (due to some hormonal disturbance) or an organic disorder (due to some infection, tumor or else on the genital organs). You can go to your gynecologist for an examination.
