We have a group that meets on the second Tuesday of each month. Would "second Tuesday" be "martes segunda" in Español ?

I would think "el segundo martes de cada mes"

Spanish has a tendency to use "every" where we use "each" so wait for recommendations. - 0074b507, Aug 8, 2011
It is not a tendency: there is a subtle distinction that English igonores. "De cada mes" here is perfect, but "del mes" is fine if the recurrence is expressed somewhere else. - lazarus1907, Aug 8, 2011

The days of the week are masculine so I doubt that segunda is correct en any location.

el segundo martes del mes
