Lighter bleeding then usual

Natasha

Hi, just after some experiences… I had some unusual discharge with red blood 8 days before my period, i then continued to spot a little bit over the course of 2 days with pink/brown blood, then about the 5th day before my period it was gone, now on day 4 days before my ‘period’ is meant to be due it’s back but red and super light? Most seen only when I wipe.

Has anyone ever gone through this?

I took a pregnancy test it was negative, so idk… my periods are usually ALWAYS regular. I have been battling a flu, so could it be that?

Hopefully someone who has experienced this can help give me insight coz I’m confused 😂
