Is this normal?

Alright. It's been awhile since I've asked any questions. So here it goes. 
My period came a day early, no big deal. I use the diva cup. I love it. But now that I use it, I am always able to see the consistency of my flow and how much there is. So I am on day 2 of my period and since I started it, it has been very syrupy. I mean almost like molasses. My flow has never been this thick, or this dark. But it's crazy and I was wondering if anyone knows why it is like this. I had Awful cramps in the middle of the night that woke me up last night. And it seriously just looks like syrup. Any input is greatly appreciated!!
