I don’t menstruate, but I work at Natural Cycles (a data-driven birth control app) with data science, and look for these types of patterns a lot — our users are not using Hormonal Birth Control though, so the sample is biased in that way.
Clue (a popular period tracker app) recently released one of the best studies I’ve seen on the mood changes over the menstrual cycle, but unfortunately it is not open access. The authors shared a pdf with me after I emailed them though, DM me if you would like a copy (sci-hub doesn’t seem to have the paper yet), or email the authors directly, they are very helpful.
