This is normal. When you ovulate progesterone is released which tells the body to maintain the uterine lining in case a pregnancy will occur. The progesterone in the body lasts about two weeks. Towards the end of the two weeks the progesterone levels will decrease which in turn will cause spotting before your period, when the levels are at is lowest your menstrual period will start. When a woman gets pregnant her progesterone levels sky rocket to help maintain the pregnancy.
