Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild spotting in the early pregnancy is seen due to incomplete attachment of the newly formed placenta to the uterine cavity. The progesterone supplements that you are taking will help in decreasing the bleeding.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
