Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Ongoing
• Sex: Female
• Target Recruitment: 115

Inclusion Criteria

1. Women from the general public between 18 -50 years age will be included in the study.
We will be recruiting from the public as we intend to see which method of symptom recording is preferred in the general population (paper vs electronic method of data capture).
The women recruited will be over the age of 18 years and under 50 years. Above 18 years is to ensure that recruited women have regular cycles and ovulation. The upper age limit exists as most women experience menopause around the age of 50 and we are studying disorders surrounding menstruation.

2. For the second part of the study:
Qualified gynaecology doctors (male and female) will be recruited as they are specialists in the area and will have experience in being able to diagnose premenstrual disorders.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Males
2. Women < 18 years of age
3. Pregnant women
4. Post menopausal women
5. Women on gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogues
6. Women who have used either method of symptom scoring previously
7. Women who lack capacity
8. Women who have special communication needs/who do not understand written English

For the second part of the study:
1. Doctors (male or female) who are in training and not completed their qualifying exams (junior doctors in gynaecology)
