The darkish brown: Suggests that the blood has a delayed transit time in the vagina.If your perio was particularly light, it would take longer to flow,thus the darker blood.

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?
