Confused about spotting

My husband and I are really confused about what is going on and are not sure if it's a good thing or if we're out this cycle. Here is what I've been experiencing:

12/01 (6 days prior to period): Noticed dark brown spotting mixed with sticky cervical mucus. Continued on and off for the remainder of the day. Whatever this dark brown spotting was continued on for the rest of the week, going from heavy to light at times. No real "blood" was noticed until yesterday afternoon. It was not heavy as my typical periods are nor stained the pad I was wearing. I have not had any cramping or other symptoms as of yet. Yesterday I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Tonight I had some bleeding again with stretchy/gooey blood clots mixed in. There was still some dark brown spotting mixed in this as well and on my pad from earlier in the afternoon. Again, no cramping or other signs of having my period.

What could this be? My period is supposed to start in four days.
