um, is this a period?

Ok girls.  I'm losing my mind I think.  I saw my RE for a post-op appointment tuesday morning.  he told me it was ok to stop my BC pills so i can have a cycle and start treatment again.  they had kept me on continuous pills since the 10th of january i think.  i've been spotting on and off since the lap, sometimes red, sometimes brown. 

Starting tuesday night, I've been leaking brown every time i wipe, with a brief moment of red yesterday... but mostly just brown.  today i got period cramps, a headache, and more heavy brown, but still not a full flow.  my period is usually very light (like only one day of tampons).  

So, my question is do you think i've spotted out most of my lining in the last 2 weeks and this is all i'm going to get?  i called the RE and scheduled a beginning of cycle ultrasound for tomorrow morning because i was certain that it was going to start after the cramps hit.  i just don't know what to do i guess.  i took my last pill monday morning, so i would assume that it would have started by now.

    I don't have an idea whether that was a period but wanted to say, periods cause SO much stress and I'm sorry yours is throwing you for a loop! Usually when my body "leaks" a bit over an extended period of time, I think it qualifies for my period but sometimes the bi+?p shows up and waves! I hope it is and you can get started with this cycle! FX!
