    That is a long time, but I've always been told by the Dr's as long as you are having a period at least every 3 months, there is nothing to worry about. However, I still think you should go in and have an exam. If you are still without insurance, try to get into a Planned Parenthood or see if you state has a local health office (assuming you are in the US). Those would charge based on your income.
