Period due between 5-11 days. having dark brown discharge with a tint of blood when i wipe.

That's quite a range: for when you expect your period. You must have an irregular cycle. If you are not using contraception, this type of bleeding may be associated with early pregnancy/implantation. It generally lasts only a few hours and only a small proportion of women experience this. Otherwise, it IS possible this is the beginning of your period. Take a pregnancy test when/if you think you've missed your period.
