Periods can stop for an number of reasons
-changed diet
-changed exercise
-changed environment
It is normal for a period to stop or become irregular.
Mine has stopped once for 3 months and again for 6 months.
It is normal - it can take up to 10 years for your period to 'decide' on a pattern.
This usually happens in the early stages of getting your period but it is not uncommon - I've heard of it happening to 40 year old women.
Don't stress, I'm sure nothing it wrong.

I've heard weird stories that if two girls are dating each other, or if a girl isn't really around men, the frequency of their period decreases to sometimes only 4 times a year, while if a girl is actively dating someone, the frequency of her period occurring increases. This is going to sound really bizarre, (I'm not a crazy person, I promise, I know this works for me...) but maybe if you try sexually arousing yourself by masturbating it will cause your period to come more often. I had my period come a week early once because of being around a guy I was attracted to.
Also, since you are 18 that means you are either going to graduate high school, or have already done so. This is a large life transition, and life transitions also cause period changes. Stress can do it too. It could also be a hormone or thyroid problem, or a psychological problem. In other words, there could be many reasons. My cousin had a similar situation, and it was due to her thyroid.

It's good that you are going to see a doctor. One of my friends was in the same situation you are in right now. She went to her doctor and they said that as you get older, sometimes you won't get your period for i while because of hormone changes.
Also, do you exercise a lot? Sometimes your period will stop because of excessive exercising.
I am sure that everything is fine. Try not to worry :)
Good luck!
