Well, don't be scared, it is almost undoubtedly your period. Have you had any lower abdominal cramps?
When a uterus is just starting up, the menstrual fluid builds up a bit in it, and as it waits, it darkens. There's a saying "brown blood is old blood." A lot of women have the first sign of their regular monthly flow be a few blobs of brownish blood, before a full flow of red fluid begins.
Get yourself some supplies, pads and tampons, so you won't be caught out if it turns into a full flow. Watch the calendar if it doesn't, because in about 28 days, you might have a period if this isn't it.
