Brief Answer:
Possibility of implantation bleeding

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about spotting.

The spotting is not periods. The spotting is also seen during implantation bleeding when pregnancy occurs.

Hence I suggest you don't worry about failure. The hopes of pregnancy are still there.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

Regards
