Pregnancy test.: Spotting after a period is not always abnormal. It can happen if you are on birth control, under a lot of stress or pregnant. Since you are trying to conceive you should definitely get a pregnancy test.

Spotting : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle.
