The best person to answer your question is your doctor.
i had this when i was 17 weeks pregnant. My dr. said its bacterial vaginosis i also had bleeding due to my irritated cervix. contact your dr. asap.
Periods are dark red or brown of even black. Vaginal bleeding is light and could not fill a pad.
If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor if you are too concerned.
Yes
uhh
You can tell when you're starting your period because you start to see vaginal bleeding - spotting which is brown or pink discharge, or a full bleed. Not all vaginal bleeding is menstruation but it's typically safe to assume this is the cause of vaginal bleeding.
A common cause of a brown or tinted discharge is light bleeding. Blood that is not fresh will darken and appear brown. It is most noticable during the beginning or end of your period. (This should be discussed with your Dr if you are pregnant.)
Spotting in the 1st month usually means nothing unless it is accompanied by cramping. I have had 4 successful pregnancies and have spotted light brown/pinkish with no complications with the babies. If the bleeding becomes heavy or cramping starts you should definitely see a doctor and express your concerns
Brown is just old blood, if it was only slight bleeding and no cramping it was unlikely to be a miscarriage, just what is called a 'threatened' miscarriage. Your doctor may send you for an ultrasound scan just to check all is well.

I'm not sure if you could be pregnant, but i would check your GP just in case it's cancer or something else it probably won't be but better safe than sorry!
If you are pregnant you don't bleed, and blood turns brown when it's dry, I suggest you get a pregnancy test.
