Mood Tracking

Understand the connection between your cycle and emotions.

Why Track Mood?

Hormonal changes throughout your cycle can significantly affect your emotional state. Tracking helps you:

Recognize patterns in emotional changes
Anticipate challenging days
Distinguish cycle-related moods from other factors
Communicate with healthcare providers about PMDD or PMS

Logging Your Mood

1
Open Lova and tap today's date
2
Find the Mood section
3
Select the emoji that fits
4
Add multiple moods if needed
5
Optionally add context notes

Mood Options

😊 Happy / Content
😢 Sad / Down
😤 Irritable / Frustrated
😰 Anxious / Worried
😴 Tired / Low energy
🥰 Loving / Affectionate
😐 Neutral / Calm
🤗 Confident / Empowered
😔 Sensitive / Emotional

Multiple Moods

It's normal to experience several moods in one day. Log all that apply - this creates more accurate patterns.

Mood Patterns

After a few cycles, Lova shows you:

Which moods are common at each cycle phase

Days when mood changes are most likely

Correlations with symptoms (e.g., fatigue + irritability)

Quick Mood Logging

For faster daily logging:

1
Enable the Mood widget on dashboard
2
Tap an emoji directly from home

Using Mood Data

Personal Planning

If you know certain days tend to be emotionally challenging:

Schedule less demanding activities
Plan extra self-care
Communicate with partners or family

Healthcare Conversations

Export your mood data to share with a healthcare provider if experiencing:

Severe PMS symptoms
Possible PMDD
Depression or anxiety concerns

Not a Diagnostic Tool

Mood tracking provides information, not diagnosis. Consult a healthcare provider for mental health concerns.
