OK, I'm about to reveal more about me than you ever wanted to know, but I decided to go forward since I'm sure I'm not the only bar taker dealing with this issue.
So my period started today--which puts me right on schedule to have it during the bar. I think that is my worst nightmare. First, PMS the week before the bar can't be a good thing. Believe me, no one will want to be within 10 miles of me. But more importantly, is having the actual event during the bar. You have to put your tampons in a ziplock baggie for all the world to see. (Not that that's a big deal for me. For god's sake I've given birth. Sitting in stirrups in front of a room full of people while your coochie expands to something big enough to pass a watermelon pretty much kills the modesty gene.) But there is also the mechanics of dealing with it. My periods have been extremely heavy since I had the twins. I will not be able to go three hours without dealing with it. I do not want to lost time for the exam because I have to leave the room every hour.
So, I guess I have two options. Suck it up and deal with it, or use birth control to manipulate my period. I'm not regularly on BC, but I have a scrip that the doc gave me to try to combat the Monster Period. I quit taking it because it turned me into the Queen Bitch of the Universe. Which brings me to the question, do I really want to screw around with my hormones in the month before the bar exam? I think I'll call my OB/GYN tomorrow to get his opinion.
Arghhh--sometimes being a woman truly sucks.
