No, trans women do not menstruate or have a menstrual cycle.
Trans women don't have a uterus or ovaries, many trans women also don't have vagina's, and thus without the female anatomy they do not experience a menstrual cycle as cis women and trans men. Trans women who take hormones can experience menstrual cycle symptoms, their hormones can be similar to cis women so they may experience hormonal shifts like cis women. PMS is also a social construct so they can experience PMS symptoms like cis women.
