Actually yes, I have anxiety and panic and have found that during the time i ovulate leading into my period i am more anxious then when i am not going into those weeks. Your body is a jumble of hormones. I found this site which may benefit you... http://www.adaa.org/ADAA%20web%20fin/Women&Hormones.pdf In short the area of this site that you would appreciate says "OCD increases premenstrually" although it also states that not enough research has been done to know fully how anxiety and anxiety related disorders are affected by periods. If i can find more i will definitely post it, i know what anxiety can do to a person, goodluck!
