Do you have pics? It's possible for some tarantulas to molt that quickly, but this is a slow growing sp, which makes it quite unusual.

The only thing I can think is that possibly she had something internal that needed 'fixing' that triggered the molt.Do you still have the previous molt? Is the sucking stomach present? Has she been eating?

I don't have the previous molt
Her stomach has always been nice and plump
after her previous molt I waited 2 weeks before feeding she ate fine for about three weeks then started to refuse food then molted
