Well, today is: May 9th so this question likely has no relevance now. But what you describe is not unusual and can be considered normal. Menstrual periods are highly influenced by hormonal changes throughout the cycle. Hormones, in turn, are influenced by illness, stress, fatigue, travel, etc. Very likely your period returned to its usual pattern within a cycle or two. If pregnancy was/is a possibility, do test:)
