It is normal for you: Many women have loose stools while on there menstrual period. If you have consistently noticed loose stools mid-cycle for months, it is a new pattern for you. It is not unusual for women to experience many changes in the patterns of their menstrual cycle throughout their child-bearing years.

Yes: The prostaglandins that cause menstrual cramps can also cause diarrhea and nausea.
