This amounty of premenstrual spotting doesn't appear to be of any clinincal concern. If you wish to persue it further, a sonongram in the early part of the cycle and endometrial biopsy in the later half of the cycle will be able to let you know about the hormone status within the uterus.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
