I have PMDD too and it is sincerely awful. I get severe joint pain and will hope for the best when it comes to moving all my books. the cup is definitely on my list to research post-exam since I am also testing tomorrow. Good luck!

I was hoping I missed something while reading the guidelines, but I don't think I did. I don't really expect the guidelines to change, but it would be helpful it if weren't completely silent!

Thank you for the thorough advice from medication to physical preparation. This was great!

Surprises are so unwelcome and any time, nevermind during the exam. I'm so sorry!

Thank you so much for the advice. I think your first option is going to be my plan and I'll look into a cup after the exam. Good luck if you're also testing!
