"Extremely light spotting" may be due to ovulation , especially if two eggs matured at the same time, since estrogen levels drop suddenly just prior to ovulation. Paragard IUD's do not have a hormonal component, but shifting of location by uterine contractions can also cause "light bleeding". See your GYN provider for an exam and perhaps other testing.
