Try getting histopathology advice. Menstrual blood will have cells from the
endometrium. In dry blood these cells may be seen under microscopy.

Subject: Menstrual blood versus regular wound blood
I am a lawyer defending a sexual assault case. Rather than convey a very
long story to give context, I will simply ask: Is there a reliable way to
test a sample of dried blood on clothing (panties, winter jacket, and pants)
to determine if the blood was menstrual blood or blood that emanated from a
wound? This matter is quite urgent and important - it has the potential to
prove my client's innocence once and for all.
I would be more than pleased to give background facts to anyone interested.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate being
pointed in the right direction or to someone who can help. Thank you.
