Sudden Heavy Bleeding Then Big Clot

This morning I woke up and felt something wet between my legs.  Then I had an urge to pee. Then I came to and realized that I could be bleeding.  I jumped up and blood starting pouring down my legs.  I ran to the shower and thats when I felt the clot.  I had to push and then pull it out of my vagina.  It was bigger than the clots I usually experience during my period.  I bled for about another 10 minutes.  Then it slowed down but it is still steady this evening.  I felt dizzy and lightheaded for a few hours but made it through my work day.  I have a GYN appointment on Monday.  Does anyone know what could cause this sudden occurence?

Ive heard of another post recently on here about huge clots. I believe they were on an IUD.  Still see your doctor but it might not be as bad as you think. I would be freaking too though. All the best, keep me updated!
