Sitting idle at home will only draw her attention to the pain she is feeling or to the mood swings, so it is better that you diverge her mind with the things she loves. For the sake of her hormones and her happiness, watch some movie together.
A pro tip: watch some lighthearted comedy movie and do not go for any romantic movie as that might make her cry even more.
If you cannot be there for her in person, then do send her some sweet, mushy texts to lighten up her mood and make her feel loved. “I understand you”, “I love you”, “I wish I was there with you right now” will make your partner feel happy and high on emotions.
Also, if you are on your way back to home, text her “If you need pads or medicine”, “Bringing your favourite chocolates and food”, “Would you like to go shopping?” These texts will make her feel that you value her and understand her emotions.
