No. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Unless the bleeding is much heavier than you are describing there is no immediate concern. Irregular periods are not unusual at your age and is also seen when taking birth control pills. Everything may return to normal over the next month. As a precaution, if you are sexually active you should do a home pregnancy test.
