i'm in colorguard and we spend every second together; practicing, studying, and just hanging out. most of us have our periods the same week. why is that?

It is called synchronized menstrual cycles. Seems that pheremones play a part. I believe the theory of evolutionary holdover from prehistoric times, when it was common for men to take multiple mates and efficient reproduction was essential to the survival of the species. This theory assumes that women in their brief monthly phase of peak fertility give off some pheromonic signal that drives men wild.
If his wives are on different cycles, hubby has a good chance of picking the wrong one when his nose tells him it's time to go into action, thus wasting precious bodily fluids. But if the women are all menstrually synchronized, he CAN'T pick wrong--they're all fertile. In short, synchronous menstruation compensates for congenital male cluelessness about women's bodies.

Nice theory, bkzalley!
But I believe that God made us and we didn't evolve from a monkey or something.
But about our periods starting to be in the same week, I don't know why, but my sister and I sometimes to that.

It's probably just coincidence.
