My period hasn't gotten any heavier?

People keep telling me I should test until the bleeding is over and I just think there's no point. So yesterday I was having light red bleeding and then after I used the bathroom I saw a gush of blood so I put on a pad and through out the whole day it was just light bleeding and brown blood. Today this morning same thing light red bleeding and light brown spotting. Usually if I was on my period I would need to wear a pad because it would be so heavy with bad cramping. I'm not having none of that its just not following a pattern. So should I wait it out and if nothing gets heavy maybe I should test?
