At the age of 18 you definitely should have a consultation with a gynecologist, you have a lot to discuss.
During this consultation an assessment can be made of your menstrual pattern and if it is abnormal you will have studies done.
One common cause of menstrual irregularity (infrequent periods) is polycystic ovary syndrome and this can be investigated with tests and should be treated.
