Is Bleeding And Losing The Blood Clot When Removing Gauze After Wisdom Tooth Extraction A Sign Of Dry Socket?

Hello, I just had my wisdom teeth extracted… I had no stitching, holes were left there. I’ve been bleeding for two days. And when I remove gauze the blood clot will come with it when removing the gauze. I decided to stop putting gauze since clot is being removed when taking the gauze away. Is this a sign of dry socket?? I have been having pain and some shaking in the jaw what does that mean??
