Work

“Hi [Manager], I manage a cyclical medical condition that flares 1–2 weeks monthly. Could we set flexible deadlines or remote options during that window? I’ll keep you posted on timing.”

School

Family/Friends

Clinician

“I’ve tracked two cycles. Symptoms start 10 days before my period and lift within 1–2 days of bleeding. Can we discuss PMDD options?
