Irregular bleeding: If your cycles are between 24-34 days apart, and this kind of irregular bleeding is not normal for you, occasionally clots may block the passage of menstrual blood, then dissolve, which will make the bleeding appear heavy with the passing of a clot. If this becomes more common, ask your gyn provider about low dose oral bcp's (unless there is a contraindication), which will decrease your flow.

Usual variation: What you described falls within the usual variation in a menstrual cycle. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx
