Depends: If there are no other symptoms, you can monitor your cycles by keeping track of them with a calendar. Monitor for signs or symptoms of pregnancy- I am assuming this is a one time deal- with no other problems, monitor re-occurance. If that happens, if your symptoms worsen, or if you could be pregnant, see you physician.
