Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns.
In my opinion you need to have a urine pregnancy test again as dark spotting might be due to implantation and it needs to be evaluated. In some women even during pregnancy they will have bleeding and as you had a ppsitive test earlier it is suggestive to have a blood beta HCG levels also. Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
