Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to our community.
There are a few things you can do to take control over this situation, and hopefully get the peace of mind you are searching for.
Schedule an appointment with your gynecologist. It is time to find the reason for such irregular menstrual cycles. With blood tests to check hormone levels, obtaining a medical history and a physical examination, the physician can diagnose the cause and offer treatment. Oral contraceptives are often prescribed to regulate hormone levels and thus the menstrual cycle.
The appointment would be the right time to mention how this recent period presented.
I do not think you are pregnant. Brown vaginal discharge is old blood and not uncommon at the beginning or end of a period. It is blood that remains in the uterus.
Please take a few minutes to look at this slideshow.
