Irregular period: Different bleeding patterns are not all that unusual but to be sure make sure you are not pregnant. You may have a urinary infection or a vaginal infection. Your doctor can sort it out.

Early ovulation: If your periods are regular, then they start about 14 days after ovulation. So if your period started early, then it likely just means you ovulated early. If cycles continue to have a pattern of increased frequency it could be a sign of a bigger problem and you should be seen.
