Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
First of all you should not be worried but keep up trying for a year. After a year you can consider consulting a doctor. You ca check for pregnancy with urine pregnancy test kit after missed periods.
The spotting may be related to infection or trauma since you didn't concieve and it can't be related to implantation. Keep taking folic acid every day while trying to convince.
Do a vaginal smear to check for infection.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
