No: While it may not be anything of concern, you should see your gyn just to be certain.

Menorrhagia: Menorrhagia is an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. Menorrhagia can be caused by abnormal blood clotting, disruption of normal hormonal regulation of periods, or disorders of the endometrial lining of the uterus (anatomic issues such as fibroids, polyps, and/or adenomyosis). Since this is a change in your normal menses it is best to see a gynecologisT.E.

Probably normal: Most women will have an irregular cycle from time to time. I would watch and see if over the next 2 or 3 cycle this resolves itself. If not you might need and exam. Things like uterine or cervical polyps, endometrial hyperplasia (thickening) and others can be associated with passing clots.
