Hallow Dear, The first cardinal symptom of pregnancy is missed period. If you have not missed your period, you need not be concerned about possibility of pregnancy. However, you had just a spot bleeding for the last menses. This can be suggestive of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the other symptoms to show are nausea & vomiting with altered taste, frequent urination and breast changes which include engorgement with tenderness, dark discoloration of nipples and areola with increase in areolar size and secretions through nipples. However, these symptoms appear after 6 weeks of pregnancy. You can get urine tested for pregnancy 8 days after the incidence to spotting. Earlier these tests may give false negative results. However, Beta Chat Doctor tests are more specific and sensitive which can give you reliable results within 2-3 days of missed period. You may go for this test. During pregnancy, there is increased mucous discharge due to increased levels of Estrogen hormone. However, this discharge is without any symptoms. I feel this should help you.
