Mood swings are real and you may also be right about it but periods aren't always the root cause of her every move. Be sensitive as this is all a process which eventually leads to mood swings and hormonal changes. Periods can generally affect the behaviour and spelling it out frequently will only make her feel bad.
2. Don't Hesitate To Buy Period Supplies
Be it a tampon, pad or any other essential that she needs, don't feel disgusted or uncomfortable to get her any of it. Be a bit more supportive and make it easier on her. If she tries to talk to you about it, remember it's a natural process so understanding it really is the best way. Also, a bar of chocolate doesn't hurt.
3. Go The Extra Mile And Help Her Out
If she has any little chores to do or has to run errands , help her out. Take the stress off of her by doing the dishes or even the slightest of things that could make her happy. Even if it's not work, then just spend time with her and make her feel loved and appreciated by just simple words. Tell her how amazing she is and how happy you are to have her. These simple gestures can instantly amp up her mood.
4. Relieve Her Physical Pain
If she is habitual to take medication during her periods, then make sure you get her those. A gentle shoulder massage is also a great way to relieve the tiredness. Offer her a heating pad, as it can relieve the discomfort and ease the cramps. She will definitely thank you for this.
Heating pads can work like magic
5. She'd Love If You Cooked For Her
You might not be a pro at cooking but cooking a small basic meal is not rocket science. Some tutorials and general skills can come of use. It can make her feel loved and stress-free. Make sure she is having food which is on the healthier side and is keeping herself hydrated all the time to steer clear of unnecessary pain.
