Lizzie,
While I don't think you should be panicking, I DEFINITELY think you need
to go to the doctor far sooner than September, at the very least for
peace of mind. If you think something MIGHT be wrong, it is best to
have it checked. If things don't look as they should, a gynecologist
will know that right away upon looking and she will be able to start
helping you. Also, I'm sure your Mom would understand and try to help
you - it is not as if you've done anything wrong. BUT in the event that
she wouldn't, being 19 you can go to the doctor on your own if that is
better for you.
Good luck.
