This is not a concern.
In PCOS, sometimes, a proper period is replaced by spotting , irregular and scanty bleeding.
What medications are you taking ?
What were the findings of the hysterolaparoscopy ?
Is your husband's semen analysis normal ?
What is your height and weight ?

I am married for four years and i am trying to conceive for the last 2 years with no results. My height is 5.4' and weight 62kg..I did hysterolaproscopy along with DNC, doctor said everything is normal. My husbands sperm count is also normal.

Brief Answer:
Are you ovulating ?

Detailed Answer:
If you are having spotting, chances of pregnancy are less.
However, you can take a urine pregnancy test if you do not get a proper period after a 2- 3 days.
And yes, are you ovulating in response to Clomipure 100 ?
