Pricking your finger to get the blood for the dedication is more than just about getting your blood on the paper. It's a show of strength. Are you strong enough to do what it takes for Satan and to advance yourself? Then jab that needle in! Unless you have hemophilia or any other medical condition, of course.
There have been others who could not make their finger bleed, so us another body part. I myself had to jab the needle into my finger 7 times before finally getting blood.
As for menstruation blood, this is very powerful and can be used in magick. So some might say you can use that for the dedication, some might disagree and point out that you need to extract the blood yourself.
HP Jake mentioned a while ago that he was going to write a sermon on why it is so important to make yourself bleed the blood for the dedication ritual....
