My fiance asked, and I did not have a good answer. My inclination is that she would have, but that it was not painful.

Naturally she did. If other animals menstruate, this is not just a human feature. Your question should be if she suffered with the menstruation, which the answer is no.

Agreed. Both Adam and Eve would have been subject to normal human biological functions,prior to the Fall, except of course for ageing and disease, or pain associated with normal bodily functions.

Why would they not be subject to aging?
Perhaps you are thinking that they were not subject to death as we know it, but that’s different from aging. (Had they not fallen, God could have removed them from the earth without the process of death as we know it.)
 
My first thought on reading the op was why would anyone even wonder about that??? :confused:
 
That might depend on how long you think they managed to live in the garden before they fell.
 
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth…”

I imagine that this commandment presupposes menstruation.

Let’s not think about “Evolution” for a while… would Adam and Eve have had a belly button? :eek:

Evolution has nothing to do with it.

They were never born in the way we are and therefore would not have been attached to an umbilical cord.
