Welcome to the EmpowHER community and thank you for reaching out to us with your concern.
This sudden change is a concern and must be evaluated by a physician. Your history of missed periods, spotting instead of a menstrual flow, and a period with clots and lasting three weeks, suggests a hormonal imbalance. Only blood tests to check hormone levels and a physical exam with a gynecologist can provide you with a diagnosis.
As an 18 year old, can your parents help you with the medical cost?
Consider discussing your financial limits with the billing staff and possibly work out a payment plan.
See if your local hospital offers a clinic, where patients are see at little to no cost.
