TMI!! Red blood!

Crystalynn
Needing some input. This is the first period I've had since I can remember that I have fresh red blood coming out from day one, not to mention the awful cramps. Normally all the blood that came out was already old and brownish looking. My flow is also heavier than usual. I have an expired implant in my arm and I'm not on any other birth control. I'm just wondering if all this is normal. Thanks for the help.
