  • The purpose of the study is to better understand how people suffering from PMDD, PMS and people who do not suffer from premenstrual symptoms differ in terms of emotional regulation and how this affects interpersonal conflicts in romantic and occupational relationships during the luteal phase. A clearer understanding could inform the future development of psychological treatment interventions.

  • The BLOOM Study (Bridging Luteal Ovarian Hormones and Mood)

    The Johns Hopkins Reproductive Mental Health Center, at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the University of Virginia, are seeking individuals with regular menstrual cycles to participate in a research study on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), or mood changes in the week before a menstrual period. This study will also investigate the effects of antidepressants in managing PMS/PMDD.

    We are looking for both women who DO experience premenstrual mood symptoms and women who do NOT experience premenstrual mood symptoms before their periods. 

    Participants will have one remote visit, which will include mood questionnaires, tracking their menstrual cycle, and providing blood samples. Following the remote visit, there will be 4-8 blood draws over a period of 1-2 months. 

    To be eligible for the study, participants must:

    • Be between the ages of 18 and 50

    • Have a regular menstrual cycle

    • Not taking hormonal birth control

    • Not using psychiatric medications

    • Participants can receive between $240 and $380 in compensation for completing the study.
