Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
As a basic rule, women can only become pregnant during ovulation. Ovulation occurs about a week after your period. In order for pregnancy to occur in your case the sperm would need to have the ability to live within the cervical fluid until ovulation in order to have a chance of fertilizing the egg. However, sperm can only live up to 5 days in the body. So, it is highly unlikely that any sperm that did happen to lodge in the cervical fluid would be alive by the time you ovulated.
With that being said, pregnancy is unlikely.
The spotting you are experiencing is common and normal after your period. It is generally not anything to worry about unless you continue to spot throughout the month.
