tbh, I came to this loose conclusion after many data points and discussions with female peers. The a woman's cycle effects hormones in major ways that can likely have an effect on a trip. Any man who suggests that it doesn't effect women are not being kind to the differences in hormonal physiology. There really needs to be closer research done on this but until then I just ask female peers to be slightly aware and cautious about their mental states during their cycle. It is my suggestion that women record in their trip notes additional info such as, what day of their cycle they are on, and if it may or may not have effected their trip preparation, trip, or integration work afterwards. As a rule of thumb, I advise women who partake in MDMA to extra care due to possible compounding effects during a post MDMA "comedown/withdrawl" and hormonal drop associated with a period. If they emotionally struggle sober during their cycle then it might be a good idea to abstain, take very conservative doses, or wait until their past the their period. There exists a community called Mom's on Mushrooms that can probably has the largest collection of individuals who can give anecdotal experiences. There are conditions such as premenstrual dysphoria disorder that psilocybin seems to help with symptoms, but its all anecdotal experimentation and feedback. so who knows
