How many days should I log?

Start with the days you have. If you already have more than one cycle of notes, bring them. This page does not tell you to delay care.

Should I include safety notes?

Yes, if they fit. Note whether you felt unsafe, out of control, or scared by your thoughts. This log does not replace a crisis plan.

Can Floriva hold these notes?

Floriva can keep short cycle notes on your device. Paper works too. Keep private details out if someone else can access your phone.

Anxiety Before Period Cycle Log

A plain cycle log for anxiety before period timing, sleep, pain, stress, safety notes, daily impact, and visit questions.

Anxiety before a period can feel clear in the moment and vague later.

This log helps you write down what happened, when it happened, and what changed your day. It is not a diagnosis. It is not a treatment plan. It is not a crisis plan.

Safety note first

Answer these before the rest of the log.

Do I feel safe right now? Do I feel out of control? Did I scare myself? Do I have thoughts of self harm? Do I need immediate help? Do I already have a clinician or crisis plan to follow?

If danger feels immediate, seek urgent help now. If you are in suicidal, mental health, emotional distress, or substance use crisis and not in immediate physical danger, call or text 988.

Quick anxiety note

Fill this out after the hard part, if you can.

Question Your note Date Time Cycle day, if known Days before bleeding, if known Anxiety level, 0 to 10 Sleep last night Pain or cramps, 0 to 10 Appetite or cravings Stress that day Main daily impact Did I feel safe? yes / no / unsure What do I want to ask?

Short notes help. "Felt tense all morning and skipped class" is enough.

Daily cycle log

Use one row per day. Track before, during, and after bleeding.

Date Cycle day Period timing Anxiety 0 to 10 Sleep Pain 0 to 10 Stress context Daily impact Safety note : : : before / during / after

Do not force the pattern to fit PMS or PMDD. The timing is useful even when the cause is not clear.

What was around it?

Check only what fits.

Poor sleep. More stress than usual. Cramps or pelvic pain. Headache. Breast pain. Nausea. Appetite change or cravings. Skipped meal. Work or school pressure. Relationship conflict. Alcohol or substance use. New medicine or supplement to discuss. Period started soon after. This also happened far from period timing.

These are context notes. They do not diagnose PMS, PMDD, anxiety disorder, panic disorder, depression, or any other cause.

Daily impact table

Write what changed in daily life.

Area What happened? How much did it affect me? Work or school none / some / a lot Care tasks none / some / a lot Relationships none / some / a lot Sleep none / some / a lot Eating none / some / a lot Driving or errands none / some / a lot Texts or social media none / some / a lot Basic care none / some / a lot

Use plain facts. "Could not go to work" helps. "Checked my phone all night" helps if it fits.

Pattern review

After bleeding starts, answer what you can.

Question Your note Did anxiety start before bleeding? How many days did it last? Which day felt hardest? Did it change after bleeding started? Did sleep change first? Did pain show up too? Did stress make the day harder? Did this happen outside period timing? What made me seek help?

ACOG, OWH, and Mayo Clinic list anxiety or tension among possible premenstrual symptoms. This log does not say that is the cause. It gives your clinician clearer dates and impact notes.

Questions for a clinician

Pick the questions that fit.

Could this timing matter? What other causes should we check? How many days of notes do you want? Should I track sleep, pain, stress, and safety notes too? Which symptoms mean I should call sooner? What details are useful for a visit? What details can I leave out? Should I bring the full log or a short summary?

Use the PMDD appointment prep checklist if mood symptoms affect daily life. Use the PMDD two cycle symptom tracker if your clinician asks for daily cycle notes.
