How do you count the cycle length? 18 days between end of period and the beginning of the next one is quite normal. 18 days from day 1 of the period to day 1 of the next period is to short. When this occurs once don't be anxious, but when the next cycle is also shorter than 21 days, go to your doctor for further examination.
