Reabsorption of uterine lining is called being "in heat" in dogs and cats. It's quite common in the animal world, and it makes all the males very rapey.

One of the prevailing theories about why humans pair bond is our males can't tell when our females are ovulating/menstruating so it's advantageous to be kinder and stick around for more sex.

TL;DR: I think that's not a great idea.
