I know I posted it somewhere, but I can't find it.

DAN has some information about DCS risk during menstruation.

Apparently, out of all women with DCS, somewhere in the neighborhood of 50% are menstruating at the time.

When you look specifically at women with DCS who are on the pill, somewhere in the neighborhood of 85% of the pill taking women were menstruating at the time.

The recommendation is to dive a more conservative profile during this time, have a longer or multiple safety stops, etc.
