Early short period?

Kendra
I started my period 5 days before it was supposed to actually come. It started off pretty heavy accumpanied with bad cramps on the first day but lightened up the same day, then the following 3 days were light, the third day (yesterday) being the lightest. The blood was red & brown. My normal periods are always heavy the first 2-3 days then progressively gets lighter, but this wasn't the case this time. My periods are also normally at least 6 days long. I have never been 5 days early nor only had a period that only lasted 4 days either. This was my first month ttc. Has anyone experienced this?
