50. The moon orbits Earth about once a month, not year
so its nearest (perigee) and farthest (apogee) points each come monthly.
You're right about the tidal effects, though in one case the sun and moon pull together and in the other case they pull in opposite directions.
With exactly what gravitational marker menstrual cycles "should" align to in theory is not obvious to me, and its clear from things like the synchronization that can occur among women living in close quarters that other factors are going to matter a lot more than the tug of the moon and sun.
