What does it mean if you have dark red blood clots while on your period?

This is a normal part of menstruation so nothing to worry about.
During menstruation it's not just blood that you loose but the uterine tissue, most of this will just be cells in the blood but larger pieces of the uterine lining can be shed on heavier days - these can be mistaken for blood clots, they will look like pieces of raw liver.
Menstrual blood doesn't really clot like normal blood, if it did it'd be detrimental to the whole process, but you can sometimes see smaller clots. You can also see bloody mucus sometimes too, the opening to your cervix is normally blocked-up with mucus to prevent anything harmful getting through to the uterus (it changes around ovulation to allow sperm through), during menstruation some of this mucus can come out with the blood. Plus you still get discharge too.

I've been pregnant twice and both times I got about a 2-4 day period of brown/light colored period with no clots (very light, usually I have 6-7 days with clots and dark blood). Both times I got this right before or right around when I should have gotten my regular period. Then I didnt have anymore bleeding and yes I was pregnant.

its best to book an appointment with your gp to make sure, if you start to have cramps which feel like period pains it could be a sign of ectopic pregnancy where the baby develops outside of the womb. small clots could be a sign of a miscarriage so get an appointment asap or go to your nearest hospital
