You are pregnant!: It means that you are pregnant and need to seek an OB MD for continuing prenatal care and further assessment.

May be nothing: serious. Spotting in early pregnancy is not uncommon and may not indicate any serious issue. I trust that for the sake of your and your baby's health, you are under the care of a doctor and taking pre-natal vitamins. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
