Hello. : Hello. Because there is a pregnancy tag, will assume that you have been having unprotected intercourse. Although, it would be a bit long to have spotting every day; light pink or brown spotting can sometimes be associated with implantation of the embryo into the uterine wall. Recommend that you do a home pregnancy test. Take care.
