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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had the misfortune of getting my period during another exam. And yes, the male professor also noticed this time. FML
Today, while writing a midterm, my period came unexpectedly. Too bad my male professor was the one to notice and not me. FML
Today, I woke up with bowel problems which have been causing me to violently pass wind every couple of minutes. I have to spend the next two hours sitting an exam in dead silence. FML
Today, I was absolutely busting to poop, so badly that I began to sweat. This was while I was sitting a medical exam, and had to write in depth about the mechanical and chemical process of digestion. FML
Today, I got my period two days early, while being interviewed for my dream job. Let's just say that I don't have very high hopes after walking backwards to the exit door and falling down upon colliding with the wall. FML
Today, I got the hiccups during an exam. I wasn't allowed to leave to get a drink of water, so I had to sit there and take my test while hiccuping violently. The teacher ended up sending me to the hall and ripping up my test for "distracting the other students". FML
Today, I was worried about passing an exam, so I hid a note under my skirt. When the guy next to me was finished, I had to get up so he could leave. With no time to hide the note, I stood in front of the entire class, hand over my crotch, looking as if I had to pee. FML
Today, I had to go through the embarrassment and pain of telling my parents I was pregnant. I took the test and it came out positive and I was freaking out. I got grounded for the rest of the year and they're really disappointed in me. Five minutes ago, I got my period. FML
Today, at school I was sitting with a friend outside, talking about irregular periods and unshaven legs. Ten minutes into the conversation, a teacher sticks her head out the window above us and tells us to leave. We were distracting a classroom who were trying to finish a test. FML
Today, I got my period at school. I didn't notice until a boy asked me if I'd killed someone in my pants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Oh wow, that sucks. :( During my Religions final, I was on my period and started having terrible cramps. And I mean, truly terrible, killer cramps. I was sweating through my clothes and my ears were ringing, but I rushed through the test in about a half-hour and immediately went to the hospital afterward. Turns out I have endometriosis, and the severe pain I'd felt was an endometrial cyst exploding in my abdomen. Hopefully everything will work out for you like it did me, OP. Your health, body, and dignity are way more important than lengthy tests and arrogant teachers.

hahaha. i like how people are all like "you should know that it's coming" like everybody else said.. it's not that easy to do. not to be graphic, but the only way you can actually tell if it's coming is if you feel something wet down there. i sympathize though, it's happened to me before.. not during exams, but just class in general. i would've done what everyone else said though, with telling your supervisor or whoever that you need to be excused or you'd bleed over everything [& everyone, to emphasize it more. :P]

I feel so sorry for you OP!!! That would be horrible, having to get up and leave the room once the test was done and have it all soaked through your pants... Go on the pill, it'll help you regulate your cycle, and if you have important events, or exams like that or whatever, you can skip that period altogether, or just skip it for a week or whatever you want. It's what I do and it's a lifesaver.

Going on the pill can help, but isn't an option for everyone. I was on it for awhile, but ended up with a bunch of crazy symptoms because it messed with my hormone levels. I went off it in February, and I'm still waiting for it to get out of my system! It was a dream before the symptoms kicked in though. If you can handle it, it's great - but make sure to keep an eye on your health.

Ugh, FYL for sure. I'm a diabetic, and my pump site went bad AND I got my period at the same time - during my AP Euro test. In addition we were all going to a restaurant as a group after the test, and I was wearing light-colored capris. Really glad I brought a jacket that I could sort-of conspicuously wrap around my waist... The test itself was fine for the first hour or so but come the essay portion I was a little unable to think thanks to my high blood sugar...really surprised I got a 4 haha.

I'd have just been like "I am on my period. If you don't let me leave this room, I will bleed all over this chair. Your call."

This is what I have done once, not during an exam but it was during a test in my Civics class. And yes, it was a male teacher. I asked if I could go to the bathroom, he said I couldn't then I explained "Well, if you want I can give you a sex ed definition on what girls get and guys don't, and where us girls bleed once a month that makes us having to go to the bathroom." He let me go(:
