Before Period Mood Doctor Message Script
A low-detail doctor message script for PMS mood questions.
Mood before a period can be hard to explain.
You may not want to send a full diary. You can start with a short message.
This page helps you write that message. It is not a diagnosis. It is not treatment advice. It is not a crisis plan.
Safety first
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.
Do not use this script instead of urgent help.
1. Gather the facts
Fill this out before you write.
Field Your note Last period start date When mood changes start When mood is worst When mood eases Main mood words Daily impact Safety concern What I want help with
ACOG and OWH describe PMS timing.
Symptoms may happen before a period.
They may ease after bleeding starts.
Mood changes can be part of that pattern.
This sheet does not decide the cause.
2. Choose what to leave out
A portal message may become part of your medical record.
You can keep the first message small.

5. If you freeze in the visit
Bring this shorter line.
6. Questions to ask
Pick the ones that fit.
Could this timing fit PMS, PMDD, or something else? What other causes should we check? How many cycles should I track? What details should I send before the visit? What details can I keep private? What safety details do you need to know now? Which symptoms mean I should call sooner?
Use the PMDD appointment prep checklist if symptoms feel severe.
Use it if daily life gets hard.
7. Privacy note
Mood notes can include mental health.
They can also include conflict, sex, medicine, and safety details.
Send the smallest note that answers the care question. Ask before you upload a full export.
Floriva can keep short cycle notes on your device.
Example:
No app can promise full privacy. You still choose what to type, export, screenshot, print, or share.
For storage choices, use the period anxiety data privacy checklist. For support person wording, use the cycle mood support person note. For anger notes, use anger before period notes.
