OK, one female opinion on the PMS thing:

Don't call her then...or rather if you do call her, keep it light, even if she starts to open up. Just hear her, but don't pursue the conversation.

At this time of the month, my emotions are on alert if I have the slightest stress in my life.

Nearly every time I had an emotionally reactive experience with my H was at this time of the month. I actually started scheduling seeing him around it to avoid that.

When my life is calmer, PMS is nothing, but when there is stress, it puts my emotions just barely under my skin.

This is just one woman's experience.
