Had light brown spotting earlier. i put a tampon in and took it out later. i noticed light brown and bright red. am i pregnant or is it my period?

See below.: Are you due for your period? Are you sexually active? If so, are you on birth control? Using condoms? Do you have any nausea or other pregnancy symptoms? This sounds like a period but if you think you might be pregnant, you should do a pregnancy test and/or consult with your doctor.
