Spotting or period?

Since being off the pill for over a year I have had fairly regular periods. However I have had some brown spotting for up to a week before my period.
I have been to the doctor and I was sent for an ultrasound which came back normal. I am now having fairly heaving spotting (so much so that I have to put in my moon cup). At what point does spotting become a period? I normally have quite bad period pains which I don't have when spotting. Help! My cycle is confusing me.

I had that. Temping using the Kindara app really helps. You should have a clearer idea in a couple of months of temping!
