Spotting before expected period

Me

So.....today my period is expected. For the 5 days prior, I’ve been having light brown/pink discharge a little bit and felt like my period was coming. It still hasn’t. Anyone else experience this and what was your result?? If I don’t get a period today, I’ll take a test, but I’m getting impatient!!!! I’m 42 so curious if the spotting could be cycle/hormone changes that are age related. I’m usually a 28 day cycle, no spotting girl!
