I have no clue if I've gotten my period

So yesterday I had a brief period of spotting. As in, I went to the bathroom and wiped and there was light brown what almost looked like discharge on the toilet paper. Then nothing else came out for the rest of the day or night, not even when I dug in with the tp. Well this morning I wiped and got a tp wipe of red blood. I was so relieved I actually showed my husband (en suite bathroom. He was out getting ready for work in the bedroom and the bathroom door was open). That was at 5 am. Well now it's 1:32 pm and there's been no blood since then. Literally none!! I wiped and there was that transparent brownish yellow "blood" again and there was a thin, barely noticeable line of it in my pad but that's it. I've also been cramping on and off which is normal for me but normally when I start bleeding the y hit me hard, but I didn't even have any this morning

My friend said that's how her periods start out, off and on. It's never happened to me before and it's kind of freaky. It keeps feeling like I am on my period but when I go to the bathroom there's nothing! Is this concerning? That's too much for pregnancy right? And have I gotten my period or am I just spotting or something?
