I don't think [euph] is appropriate here.
Also, given that the first sense is "physiology", I don't think there's any particular reason to assume that "menstruation" is the original meaning.

  Comments:
Despite sankoku saying sense 02 is now ふつう, the [euph] tag might be useful to indicate that it's not the original meaning.
