Long Period

Starting in February my periods started coming like every three months. So at the end of June not having my period for the longest time I get it and it last for a month and a half. Now it is September and I got it a few days later then normal but nothing to bad and now its the eighth day of my period and I am worried something is wrong because I keep having very long periods. Can anyone give me any advice?
S.N. I am only eighteen and been having periods since I was eleven I think.

Are you under a lot of stress? Underweight ? Athletic? Sometimes these three things can effect your cycle like that

I don't really have any pain. And its not heavy but light its like moderate. What would a blood clot look like? And I don't even have gyno. I don't know if my insurance covers it or not.

Do you get pain with your periods? Is the flow heavy? Is there blood clots?

You need to see your gynecologist.  Your periods should be more regular, especially when you say it was just starting in February that your periods started coming every three months.  That combined with the long periods suggests some blood work needs to be done.  It could be any number of things, many of which are an easy enough fix once you know what's going on.
