You should talk to the doctor and fasting is good for you on occasion.

With fasting a means to be closer to God in some way, to stand in His Presence for serious petition or just presence, I would personally say no.

Women are Biblically, old testament levitical law style, ritually unclean during our menstrual cycle.

While there's no specific law concerning this in the New Covenant we often extrapolate from the principals we find in the old testament.

In one respect, we are all ritually unclean and unworthy to stand before God and ask anything from Him however, we are all, those who believe, made clean by the blood of Jesus and His sacrifice in order to stand in His Presence.

But on the other hand, God is unchanging and since fasting is a special and specific thing I would definitely wait until my menstrual cycle is over for that, as a matter of respect for God.

Since there's no written rules about it under the New Covenant though, it will fall under liberty of conscious.

You may want to consider biological reasons for not wanting to fast at the same time as your menstrual cycle though.

Though I suppose there's no written rules about it under the New Covenant.

Usual prayers are fine.

Your covered in the blood of Jesus. The only thing I would change up for is fasting.

There is no sin in a holy fast to God. That law applies to those whose ancestor was the man named Jacob, renamed Israel. Even if you had such ancestor, Christ the Lord tells His adopted brothers and sisters to not so consider, to consider the Father in Heaven alone to be our father.

Given that Gentile Christians are not required to follow the Jewish law (see Acts 15 and the writings of Paul), I see no reason to view yourself as ritually unclean during your period. Pray and worship as you normally would. Take care of yourself if you're having cramps or otherwise feeling bad, but otherwise live your regular life. Fasting should be fine if it's medically okay for you (though watch your iron levels).

Most certainly yes. Unless you have a significant health problem!
