What you want is the NASA publication "Women's Health Isues in the Space

 Also Steller and Blue's "Gynecological Considerations for Long Duration
Space Flight" presented at the 2021 meeting of the Aerospace Medical
Association.
 There were also some studies on female monkeys subjected to high acceleration
back in the sixties which compared menstruating and non-menstruating
conditions but I can't find the reference here.  My office is moving and
everything is kind of a mess.

I knew there were various methods, but they all presupposed that the woman knew she would be in space for several months, not that she was was headed for a "Gilligan's Island" scenario.
