spotting or period?

M
Ok, so since I was 12 I've had my regular periods. Never had any rare days of spotting. Now That I've had the Mirena inserted on May 8th I've had random days spotting. But today, a little little gush of blood came out. It didn't go through my liner tho. But it was blood, not the pinkish discharge. I'm supposed to get my period this weekend but I don't know how much will it be affected. 
So I don't know if I should consider this little gush of blood as spotting or light period...
I don't know what's going on with my menstrual cycle anymore. I haven't had sex since the day before it was inserted
