Weird cycle

L

So this cycle was weird if i even call it my period... brown not red all cycle and not heavy at all. And lasted a few days. Does that count as a period? Maybe in a few days ill take a pregnancy test to verify its neg still.Thinking about starting ovulation tests but i cant remember when to start testing. I also have metformin from my dr since i used it in my 1st pregnancy.. thinking about finally taking it.
