I live in a womens dorm, we all get ours the same week, it has to do with the hormones. 40 women all at the same time on our periods, can you imagine?

I ve heard of this before. I dont recall if its kind of a mental thing whereby women find it comforting to be similar with their "sisters" or its more a physical thing whereby phermones (hormones relating to odors) will make women in sync.
I do recall that there is an "alpha" or leading female that will start her period and the rest will follow in a day or two.
I know this kills any notion on my part of ever having a harem.

That is very interesting. Last week my SIL came over and asked for a tampon because she said that she just started and I was like "me too." Then later a friend said hers did too. She is in another state. Even though I don't live with these people it's pretty interesting.

i always wanted to know that question myself. that always happens to me, the few of my good friends i hang with and been friends with for real long time. one person would be getting off their period , the next person would start theirs, there has been times a couple of us would start at the same, have the same cycle for awhile until someones cycle decides to change. it's just strange..lol

I heard that hormones sometimes leave the body through sweat, so women who live together or are in frequent close contact can take in each other's menstrual hormones through their sweat.

Your hormones or something secretes a smell that other women subconsciously pick up on stimulating their hormones to have your period too.

I had always heard it was a sociological issue dating back to ancient times and based on survival needs.
I found both the sociological and scientific arguments.

I dont know for sure, its hormones and pheromones possibly, perhaps we're all in the same boat to support one another!
