We are running an online research study to understand an important but seriously understudied area: how the menstrual cycle affects individuals with bipolar disorder. We know that everyone’s experience is different, and “textbook” answers don’t capture what many people actually go through! That’s why we want to hear about your cycle and your story.

By sharing your experiences, you can help us better understand these patterns and improve future care for others with bipolar disorder.

We are looking for participants who are:

  • Diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder
  • Menstruating (have a monthly period)
  • Ages 18-45
  • Not pregnant, breastfeeding, or on hormonal birth control or treatments
  • Living in the US
  • Interested in advancing science about bipolar disorder and hormones!

We will ask you to complete short surveys throughout your menstrual cycle and use urine-based LH test strips for a few days of the month to help track your cycle. 

Additional questions? Please schedule a quick chat with our team, or check out our screening survey to read more information.

Compensation: $25/hr for assessments after enrollment
