From what I understand, the menstrual period has nothing to do with being in
heat.  That would or would not happen anyway.  It has to do with
too large a buildup of blood in the uterus that can't, unlike in many
other mammals, be reabsorbed.
The same thing happens in all females, except that the excess is reabsorbed
into the body.

At least, that's what I remember
