Spotting?

I am due my period next weeks, but for the last 2 days i have had really light bleeding of browny/ red blood with small blood clots. Is this spotting as normally my periods are quite heavy. Is this normal with endo. I haven't been diagnosed yet but me and others suspect i have it.

Spotting in the week before your period can be an indicator of endometriosis (it can also be a sign of low progesterone levels and various other things too so don't rule out the alternatives). I have endo and will spot dark brown blood for anywhere between 2-6 days prior to my period.
