Is it true that testosterone levels in women increase during menstruation and estrogen levels decrease?

No: Estrogen and testosterone levels drop before menses. They peak near ovulation time.

Ovulation: Testosterone levels are highest in females during ovulation, which usually is converted to estrogen ands progesterone. But this higher testosterone level causes an increase in libido.
