Fatigue Before Period Tracker

A fatigue before period tracker for cycle timing, sleep notes, energy dips, PMS symptoms, daily impact, and visit questions.

Fatigue before a period can blur into the rest of the week.

Use this tracker to catch the shape of it. Write when it starts, how strong it feels, what sleep looked like, and what else happened. Do not use it to name the cause.

If fatigue feels sudden, severe, unsafe, or very different for you, contact a clinician. You do not need to finish a worksheet first.

Start note

Fill this out when fatigue starts.

Question Your answer Date fatigue started Cycle day, if known Days before period, if known Next period due, if known Energy level low / very low / wiped out Sleep last night good / broken / short / unsure Main body symptom Main mood symptom What changed today? work / school / care tasks / plans / focus / none Main question for care

Short notes work. "Heavy tired feeling after lunch" is useful.

Daily fatigue log

Use one row per day until bleeding starts.

0 = none. 1 = mild. 2 = changed my day. 3 = hard to manage.

Date Cycle day Days before period Fatigue 0 to 3 Sleep Mood Cramps Headache Bloating Breast soreness Bowel change Daily impact : : : good / broken / short steady / low / anxious / irritable no / yes no / yes no / yes no / yes no / yes

ACOG and Mayo Clinic list fatigue as a possible PMS symptom. Mayo Clinic also lists trouble falling asleep. The table shows timing. It does not prove why fatigue happened.

What came with the fatigue?

Check what happened in the same window.

I slept less than usual. I woke up more than usual. I felt low or tearful. I felt tense or anxious. I felt irritable or angry. I had cramps. I had a headache. I had bloating. I had breast soreness. I had constipation or diarrhea. I changed plans because of low energy. I needed more help with care tasks. This happened before another period too. This felt different from my usual pattern.

Do not force a label. A plain list can be more useful than a guess.

Pattern check

Use this after bleeding starts or after the week ends.

Question Your note How many days before bleeding did fatigue start? Did fatigue ease, stay, or rise when bleeding began? Did poor sleep happen first? Did mood symptoms happen on the same days? Did cramps or headache happen too? What day was hardest? What did fatigue stop you from doing? What is the main care question?

If fatigue keeps going during bleeding, use the tired during period energy log. If heavy flow is part of the story, use the heavy period visit prep checklist.

Visit questions

Pick the questions that fit.

Could the timing fit a PMS pattern? Could sleep problems be part of this pattern? What symptoms should I track next cycle? What symptoms mean I should call sooner? Should I track fatigue before and during bleeding? What details should I bring to a short visit? Should I bring a one page summary instead of daily notes? Could mood symptoms change what we discuss?

One page summary

Use this before a visit or message.

You can copy only this summary. You can export only this summary. You can keep the daily notes for yourself.

Privacy note

Fatigue notes can include period dates, mood, sleep, work, school, care tasks, and private health details.

Keep only what helps. Share only what you choose. A short summary may be enough for a portal message or visit.
