Spotting in early pregnancy?

I'd like to hear from anyone who experienced some sort of spotting in early pregnancy, if you would be so kind? I haven't gotten a BFP yet, but yesterday I had what I thought to be a vfl, but I just had a tiny bit of spotting and can't help but wonder if I'm not actually pregnant, or if it's a chemical. I'm trying to hang on to hope, but it's becoming difficult as we've been trying for a year and a half now.

Thanks in advance!
