Why is it when woman congregate in a group for an extended amount of time that thier periods tend to synchronize to eachother?..... but the better question is how does it happen? Does all the other womans menstrual cycles in line with one particular womans cycle ( like the more dominate cycle ) or do all the womans period merge into a gradual common middle sync point?

Is it chemical horomonal pheromones that are given off between the woman going back and forth and align/sync. eachothers bio-clock to eachother?

Can one pheromone be more dominate than others and thus making all the other woman align with her cycle? or do they all gradually meet in the common middle ground?

The answer is "pheromones". Which is an undetectable chemical odor that comes from your body and causes physical changes.

a womans cycle runs about every 28 days so eventually in a group your 28 day period is bound to be on the same time frame at 1 point or another. Basically it's just nature being coincidental.

Not really answering the question but I can acknowledge that it does happen to me and my friends from work.
We all started working to together about a year ago and about 4 months ago we all started to work out that we were getting our periods at the same time.
Its really comforting to know that at a stressful time there is a support network around you, going through the exact same thing as you. But sorry...I don't know the "science" behind it

I assume it has to do with horomones.
