My experience over Obstetrics "Abnormal uterine bleeding"

Hello. I'm a 25 yo female. I am sexually active. However I don't take birth control. I use condoms. Last time I had my period was on 09/17. I usually have a regular cycle (it's not exactly 28 days, but I have my period once a month). On friday (10/14), I wiped and found brown discharge so I assumed that I had started my period. I then put a pad and went on my day, because my period usually starts with brown bleeding, but they quickly turn red. However, ever since friday, everytime I go to check, it's brown, and it's nowhere near as abundant as my usual period flow. ALSO, on friday, like 3/4 hours before I found the brown discharge, I did have a really sharp pain in my right lumbar region. I haven't felt the pain since. I already have a appointment with an ob/gyn in early november, that I had booked early last week before I went through any of those symptoms, he isn't available before that. Should I wait another 3 weeks or is this urgent, should i see someone else? I made the mistake of looking online and found stuff about ectopic pregnancy and I'm freaking out!!! Thank you
