Yes: You could have spotting at any time for a variety of reasons. Pregnancy does not always result in spotting, so that is not a predictor of pregnancy.

Hopefully never: Any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated promptly by your doctor. About 50% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy making it very common but not normal. Most are fine but sometimes bleeding can indicate a tubal pregnancy or miscarriage. Get checked.
