Missed Periods: I am a virgin. What could be wrong?!
So it's been 7 months since "Mother Nature came to visit" and when it use to come, it came heavy but painless. Finally this month it came, but SUPER light and full of pain (Cramps, backaches, nauseation, bloating). But just to be clear, I am a virgin. What could be wrong?! Please help me, I'm scared.

Maybe give some free advice about: Menstrual/Period Issues?
It's possible that there's been a change in your period. It doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you. If you haven't had your period for long it's perfectly normal for it to be irregular. I recommend waiting it out for next months and not stressing about this and just see what happens.

You have not said how old you are or when your periods started or how long ago that was. If you have just started to get your period a long gap between them is normal as is the problems you described.
There are three things I can offer in the way of advice.
1. Talk to your mother. She is there with you and she can help you. Your period is a bodily function that she shares as a women with you. So she knows what you are going through. This is not sex so this is not something that you should be embarrassed to talk to her about. Neither should you truly be embarrassed to talk to your dad about this problem. I can assure you your dad is well aware of a woman's problems with their periods.
2. Now that you are having your periods you need to be seen by a gynecologist for yearly check ups. If you have not yet seen a GYN then ask mom to schedule an appointment for you with her doctor or chose one for your self.
3. Unfortunately it is normal for a woman to have the problems you describe during her periods. If you feel that these problems are extreme and find it hard to deal with then see the GYN. There are medications you can be given to help regulate your period and shorten your period. To help deal with these problems.
Most importantly is talking to mom or dad. As a parent myself I can tell you our main calling in life is our children. Everything you have done, are doing and will do we have done or experienced before you. You've heard this from your parents, right. Well its true. We didn't just appear out of a bottle.
We want to help our children and at this stage of your life the problem becomes how to do so without invading your privacy. You have a right to a certain amount of privacy and most parents acknowledge this fact. So we wait for you to come to us.
Problems like you have brought to us are the type of problem you should be going to mom or dad with. As I said they are right there and know what to do to help you. Just because one of the advisers here say they had the same type of problem you write about; does not mean your problem is the same as theirs. Your parents and doctor know you best. They are the ones who can help you the best. So please take these type problems to then for your own best interest and well being.

First off, you should address this with your mom. You said that you just started getting your period 7 months ago. Generally girls periods haven't regulated by then. Your body is just getting adjusted to the big change. Symptoms like the ones you describe are normal; in fact, I get those same ones. If you think it's too much to handle, try talking to your mom about taking some medication for when you're on your period.

It's going to be alright. You either have light periods that are painless or not or heavy periods that are painless or not. You happen to have a light painfull one. Idk I've never experienced some of those things you listed about ur types of pains
