What Causes An Early Menstrual Period With Stomach Cramps?

HI, I'm 23, 5'1 and weight roughly 112. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant for our second time and I thought perhaps I was this month but then I started spotting last night (a day early for me), it was very light and it was a pink color. Today, the coloring is still the same but there is a little more than yesterday. However, it took the full eight hours to fill the tampon today. My period normally starts off a maroon or dark brown and then by the second day it's a deep red coloring and theres a lot. I normally have to change my tampon every two to three hours until the fourth or fifth day when I start spotting for the remaining three to four days of my menstrual cycle. I'm also cramping in my lower back and lower abdominal area, not enough to hurt, pain scale is a one, but it's enough for me to notice since I never cramp before, during or after my period. I have also been getting headaches every day, and neither water nor food seems to be helping. I thought I ovulated April 26th and 27th and my husband and I had sex on those night and on the 29th. An ovulation test came up negative on the 27th so I thought I might have miscalculated my ovulation dates and so we decided to wait until after my period this month. Now my period is a day early and not following the normal flow.
