Learn English – What do you call a woman who’s feeling “emotional”

phrase-requestspolitical-correctnesssingle-word-requestsslang

It's that time of the month, your female partner has begun to fault pick you, for no explicable reason she becomes weepy, and anything you say or do will be criticized or misinterpreted.

Is there a word or expression for your partner or girlfriend or her behaviour?
What do you call a person who's feeling "bitchy" (note the scare quotes) due to their mood swings?

Please, no vulgar, crude expressions. That would be taking the easy way out, what's more I already know those terms.

Thank you!

Hormonal

You seem a little hormonal this week, why don't you pour a glass of red and run a bath.

You convey that your partner is 'acting up' but acknowledging it is neither persons fault - biology is biology after all and can't be helped.
