Today, three days before I take my bar exam, the biggest exam of my life, I got my monthly. And I get to bring my belongings in a clear plastic bag so the world knows. FML

Today, it's the last day of finals week. Unfortunately the only test I've passed this week is the pregnancy test I took during my lunch break in a Subway bathroom. FML
Today, I found out that on Wednesday, when I have 2 exams, I'm called to testify in court. If I go to court, I cannot make the exams. If I take the exams, I'll be held in contempt and arrested. FML
Today, I can't attend an interview for a great job because I have an exam. An exam I need to pass in order to have a great job like the one I'm missing the interview for. FML
Today, after 3 years of unemployment and 6 months of hard studying, I found out I hadn't actually registered myself for the public service exam that will happen later this month and could finally get me a job. FML
Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML
Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML
Today, I finished a 700-page book for my law exam. It was the wrong book. FML
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML

It happens. Don't let it distract you from doing well on the BAR.

It's still embarrassing. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to know you were on your period. Although it isn't new, it's still a personal matter.

Many women menstruate. That's life for women. Little issues like this shouldn't keep you from being a new attorney.

Who cares! It's part of being a woman. If someone is immature and makes a deal about it well there problem not yours.

Considering yoiu think 28 days is a month, I don't think this will be your biggest problem during the exam. Also this is the first case in the history of mankind where a women had her period at an inconvenient time.

'Monthly' is merely a term women use to refer to their cycle, since it *averages* a once a month appearance for many women. Also, 28 days is an arbitrary number assigned to cycles as "normal". Women have a whole variety of cycle lengths, from very short to several months long (common in certain physical conditions or when breastfeeding, for instance).

If you are worried about the world knowing why post it here?

Use a menstrual cup like the Diva Cup. No extra equipment needed. Really, though, it's not that bad. It's a natural bodily function. Now, try hitting the Senior Year Trifecta, like I did: Spring Break (started ON the day we went to a water park), Prom Day (wearing a light-colored dress and carrying a very small purse), and Graduation Day (for which I was required to wear a WHITE gown). Ouch. Lol. I also had to mess with my birth control pills a little to keep from starting while on my honeymoon. My body hates me. >.

FML also hates me, apparently. That ">." at the end of my comment was supposed to be an exasperated face, which FML repeatedly cut off in my edits of both my original comment and this reply, so I give up.

Just wrap it in paper, and try to find a female proctor to hand it to!
