Before you have your exam, ask your doctor about their confidentiality policy. This means you can find out before you tell him/her anything whether or not they can/will tell your mother.
Most places will respect your privacy, as long as you are not in serious danger of harm.
Your doctor can't know if you are a virgin or not, though it's always best to be completely honest with your doctor - even if that means saying you're not sure if you had sex. This way, your doctor can honestly evaulate your needs and figure out the best way to give you support.
If you are really freaking out and the appointment isn't for awhile, call your doctor's office and ask to speak to a nurse. State how old you are, that you have an appointment, and ask about confidentiality.
If you don't like what you hear, perhaps you can try to make an appointment somewhere else.
And for your info, you should see your gyno once a year from the time you first have sex or you turn 18 - whichever comes first. Your period is not related to this. Since you are unsure if you had sex, though, it's probably better for you to go.
I wish you the best.
