Weird first period after nursing toddler

For some background, I nursed my toddler for 2.5 years. I got my period back at rough 10 months pp and was fairly regular, although I was on the mini pill up until about 2 years old. After getting off the mini pill my cycles were a little longer but nothing crazy, like 32 days. I stopped nursing the first day of my last cycle, which was 40ish days ago. I got my “period” 4 days ago but it has been basically just red/brown spotting. One day I needed a tampon but BARELY. Does this even count as a period? Was it just weird spotting? I should add that I start the spotting at about 12dpo but have had all negative tests!

Thank you in advance for any insight or experience. I feel like this is a very niche situation, but someone had to have had a similar experience
