Was it a period??

Chelsea

So My periods always last 4 days and the day before expected period I had brown blood (old blood I’m assuming) when wiping then the next 4 days I had brown blood with very very little reddish and for those 4 days it wasn’t enough to even fill half of a lite tampon which is crazy it was brown blood and only a few times did it have a hint of Red? Was this just a light period or spotting or implantation or what lol me and hubby have been trying for three years.
