Spotting before period.
I'm sorry if this question have been answered. I'm just wondering if I should be worried about my spotting before my period.
I've had spotting a week before my period the last few times, but they are so light in color and only last about 2 to 3 days before it completely stop. Then my period would resume in time a week later.
This month, however, I am really scared. It seems I started spotting brown discharge a little over a week after I ended my last period completely. As I draw nearer to my period date, the discharge seem to get heaver color-wise. It would be light brown discharge one day, then red-ish the next, then back to brown and so on, sometimes red. I'm due in about a day or 2 and just today it started to look more like period blood when I use the bathroom. I thought I would start today, but after a few times on and off through the day, it seem to disappear and has resume back to light brown discharge.
I'm not having any pain, no bad oder emitting from the discharges, nothing. I feel normal. Does stress and lack of sleep have anything to do with this?
I'm haven't been sexually active in 3 months and I am not on any contraption.
I just need to know if anyone can relate and help calm my nerves. This is making me more stress than I already am!!

Thanks for the quick response. It's just this is the first time it has ever happen to me and I'm freaking out. -____- I'm 21 and have always had a regular period, save for when I'm stress out, then it'd be a week late. I'm sure I will start my period on time, I just hope I won't have to repeat the same thing next month!
