Could light brown bleeding have been early pregnancy rather than a period? 6 weeks or 10/11 weeks pregnant!

Just seeing if anyone else has had similar. I know the only way to know for sure is a scan but just seeking similar stories so I don’t have a total shock when I go for a scan.
ok so my last proper normal period was 30th March - 4th April, then 2nd may-16th may I had light brown bleeding for that entire two weeks. It was very light and nothing like my normal period. I usually have a few days of heavy bleeding and cramping before it settles down but for that 2 weeks no cramping just light brown. My periods will always last for 5-7 days so this 2 weeks was wild. I shrugged it off as just a weird period even though my periods are like clockwork and always the same. Fast forward to 9th June I realise I’ve totally missed my next period (it was actually my period app that told me hey you’re very late!) so I start thinking maybe I should take a test. I then start thinking have I had any symptoms and I realise I have actually been having a few pregnancy symptoms for a while but I’d not really been paying attention (I have 6 kids so I’m super busy!) I take a test on 9th and it is blazing positive a total dye stealer! I was shocked as I’ve been on the POP pill since January, never missed one! Anyway, I immediately guessed I’d be around 6 weeks but now I’m wondering was that 2 week bleed even a period?! Could I be closer to 10-11 weeks!? Has anyone else had this at all or similar?! I just want to hear experiences so I’m not totally shocked when I book a scan
thanks guys.

If i had to guess, I'd say that wasnt a period.
