Period and iud

I got my first mirena iud inserted January 9th and I have been spotting ever since. The blood has been either brown or dark red. A couple days ago the flow got heavier and turned bright red. My scheduled period isn’t for 13 days. I was wondering how do you tell the difference between your period and spotting?
