White specks in nipple and lighter period?!?

About a week before my period came my breasts got super sore and sensitive to where if my arm brushed my nipple it would hurt. I then noticed white speck on my nipple (I’ve always had them but I noticed a lot more than I normally do) my period came on time, but it seems to be lighter than normal. I sleep with a tampon in and by the time I wake up it’s normally full, but this period I noticed it’s only filling up about a little over half my tampon when I wake up and check it in the mornings. I also had horrible cramps this morning. They were so bad I didn’t want to walk and I felt like I was walking funny. I took ibuprofen and they calmed down about 5-8 minutes later. I was wondering if this is normal?? Have any of you experienced this with your period?? I don’t think I am, but I’m taking a pregnancy test tomorrow, but I’m impatient as hell so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask if any of you ladies have had anything like this before. Thanks!😁
