The : The likelihood of pregnancy is fairly low. Spotting early in pregnancy usually is a result of implantation bleeding. This occurs when the emryo implants in he uterus or shortly therafter. It typically occurs about 6-12 days after ovulation. So for example if your period started on the 1st of the month then ovulation would be the 15th of the month, therefore if pregnancy occurs implantation bleeding would be from the 21-27th, so if you had sex a week ago right after your period ended then you are not in the time frame for implantation bleeding. It's pretty complicated. My best advice would be to take an early prediction pregnancy test the week before your period is due. Good luck.
