Does brown spotty blood count as a period? i was early this month. could i be pregnant? there was no real blood.

Yes, possible: If your period was not usual, and without any true bleeding then pregnancy is possible. There are also other explanations such a hormone changes or infection. It's a good idea to check a pregnancy test and those other factors.

Vaginal bleeding: You need to first confirm that you are not pregnant. However, spotting can be seen in pregnancy. In about half of all cases, it may be a harbinger of a miscarriage.
