Spotting/brownish discharge before period

Do you consider spotting or brownish discharge before AF the start of your period or you start taking it as a period from the first day the blood gets heavy? I've started spotting and having brownish discharge a few days before my period since I've started being sexually active and if I track all the days of spotting/discharge plus the actual heavy period then my last AF would be 11 days.
