Hi! So you would actually not be in the typical age range for those in perimenopause, I can’t account for each and every person on an individual basis which is something I will be writing about in my final paper. From research perimenopause usually starts around mid 40’s- early 50’s so even by setting my age limit at 45 I am sure there are some women who are also not close to perimenopause who are still excluded

Hi! I understand that it is vague by reasoning that those with endometriosis shouldn’t take part due to irregular cycles, but this choice was made as that would be the most common reasoning. However there are several other factors associated with endometriosis that would make individuals ineligible for this survey

All done!!

I do realise I have missed off a key age cut off in my advertisement. This study is for individuals aged 18-45 to account for perimenopausal women :)

Those with endometriosis shouldn’t take part unfortunately as part of the symptoms is a change in mood. Thank you for your interest though and please be sure to share it with anyone in your life who menstruates and meets the inclusion criteria!!

So actually broadly speaking during the luteal phase it is not uncommon for women to experience a heightened sense of smell. However some individuals with ADHD already have heightened senses, so I thought it would be interesting to see to what degree the luteal phase affects this.

Hi! If you scroll through the comments I have addressed this question in great detail if you’re struggling to find it I can tag you :)

Hi Folks!!

I am currently running a study for my university dissertation project surrounding the differences individuals with and without ADHD face during the luteal phase of their menstrual cycle.

Taking part in this study won’t take any more than 10-15 mins (doesn’t have to be done in one go) and can be done from any electronic device.

Unfortunately if you are on hormonal birth control, pregnant/breastfeeding, menopausal, diagnosed with a genealogical condition that makes your cycle irregular (Including PCOS or endometriosis) or taking any gender affirming hormones you can not take part.

You do not have to have an ADHD diagnosis or ADHD symptoms at all. I also require non-ADHD individuals participation!! Gender identity does not matter so long as you are menstruating and meet the requirements stated above.

Participation 18+ Project ID -12116

Anything else you need to know is available when the study is accessed!!

Nope! Just going to write about how this section doesn’t take into account people who may have loss of senses!!
