dark brown spotting

Toni

ok so Thursday and Friday I noticed a little pink spotting and thought maybe AF was coming early but it was so little I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't obsessed 😂 Sunday took hpt and got a killer destroy my dreams evap took another one yesterday and same stupid evap.. today I noticed gross dark brown discharge when I wipe. not enough to even use a tampon. my question is could this be ib at cycle day 26? I'm 38 not sure if age matters..
