Yes, that is what is considered spotting. It can be either pink or brown but should only be a few drops. For me personally with my miscarriages I didn't start bleeding right away with any of them, even my chemical. When the bleeding started with my chemical about a week after I took a PG test, it was red blood and lasted about 10 days but never got heavier than a typical heavy period. With my only natural miscarriage (my other was a D&C), the bleeding started light and became heavier until I finally passed the sac 28 days later. I didn't cramp with my miscarriage until about an hour before I passed the sac.
Now I did have some spotting in early pregnancy with both of my sons. With my first son, I thought I was going to lose him because I had bleeding not only when I wiped, but on my panties enough to fill a panty liner by the end of the day for about a week. Finally it went away. With this pregnancy, I only spotted when I wiped a few times. Thankfully we had three ultrasounds that showed he is fine. So really it can depend. If the bleeding gets heavier, I would definitely go in to get checked out at your nearest emergency service, especially if it is accompanied by cramping.
