menstruation and master cleanse

I have done The Master Cleanse successfully 3 times in the past and every time I felt amazing. I started a cleanse last Monday for the first time in a few years.

It was going great for most of the week but I could feel my periods were going to start and I started to feel so terrible - sick, cramps, weak, faint, etc and barely ANY blood..and I was a few days late.. So yesterday (sunday) I had to come off..if i stayed on the cleanse feeling like that i would have been bed-bound but i need to work. Now apart from feeling disappointed that I couldn't finish it...as soon as I started sipping orange juice and having soup my period started REALLY heavy and painful AND still sick as if it had been building up and waiting for me to finish the cleanse ...I didn't lose any weight (not my main goal anyway) and I FEEL LIKE SHIT

I am going to do another cleanse next month to try n finish what i started. I know from reading other posts some of you had great menstruation on the cleanse but this is just a warning for some other women....really really consider this before doing one if you know your period is gonna start.
