Early period: It sounds like an early period, which on its own, isn't cause for particular alarm. Hormonal variations and changes can cause this to happen. If you are getting more spotting mid cycle, pelvic discomfort/pain or abnormal discharge, you should get an evaluation by your doc.

Missed period. Spotted on days my period was due with normal cramping, back pain. Very small blood cloths in the morning but pad/tampons would have nothing on them after this. Brown/red spotting day before. Not sexually active. Was this my period?
