Light early period? Early pregnancy spotting?

I have been tracking my cycle for YEARS! I have never had spotting before my cycle. My cycles are very normal and always on time by maybe a day give or take. My I started spotting 5 days before expected AF. My cycle is due Friday. I put on a last night expecting my cycle to come full force. But I woke up to a lot of brown dried blood. My cycles are SUPER heavy the first two days. So much so, I wear the period diapers my entire cycle until maybe the last 2 days of my cycle. I’m not even filling a pad up and I have been lightly bleeding for the past 3 days. None of my regular period cramps or nothing. I have 5 living children. I’ve been pregnant 7 times. I have NEVER dealt with this. I haven’t been stressed out or anything. I’m pretty healthy. Never had issues conceiving or with my periods. Like literally, this has me so lost and shook. I even mentioned it to my best friend and she was shocked because she knows my cycles take me OUT!!!! Anyone experience this? Did you end up pregnant was just having early pregnancy bleeding? Which I know is common. Can you please share your experiences? No blood clots. I will upload the picture of the pad I put on last night around 8pm and didn’t take off until 13 hrs later. Please remember I bleed HEAVY my first 2-3 days of my cycle and it’s always been like that especially after I had kids. If it’s a light period, I’ll take it lmao, I’m surely not complaining. But what in the world is going on! I did take an early pregnancy test (equate advanced early pregnancy test). It has a faint line but I don’t trust it since it’s blue dye. Going to wait until Friday to test again with a pink dye. I did mark in my app I started my cycle Tuesday since that’s when I seen a little red when I wiped, in case it is my cycle coming early and it’s just lighter then usual. But seeing no blood clots, no heavy bleeding is throwing me offff!!!

Average cycle 29 days

Usually 5-6 days in length

According to app I’m 12dpo today (I usually track with opks but didn’t this month)
