I have a luteal phase defect too (spot from about 10 dpo usually) and it can cause problems with implantation, so even if the egg is fertilised your progesterone levels aren't sufficient enough to sustain the pregnancy. If you're spotting from 8dpo then it sounds like your levels are dropping too soon.
I went to the Drs about it and she prescribed me 'norethisterone', which you take 2 x per day 2 days after ovulation and for 12 days. I was doing this the month I got pregnant. I tried B6 and it didn't work for me atall.
I've just been referred to a specialist, as I am sure my miscarriage (in June) was down to low progesterone and there are progesterone gels that can be prescribed up until week 9/10 of pregnancy, at which point the placenta should be producing sufficient quantities on it's own.
