You made my period start!??


Question:
has anyone ever noticed (girls) that if you are kinda close to starting your period and you get around a girl that is on hers, YOU WILL START AS WELL!! What is with that. Like when my sister lived with us she would make my cycle get thrown off. Have any of you girls ever noticed this. Why is this it is sooo weird!! Like my friends make me start all of the time! lol

Answers:
There is some evidence that the hormones involved with ovulation and menstruation are gaseous like those hormones that cause fruits to ripen. When you put a ripe fruit in a bag with unripe fruit the others become ripe faster than they normally would. This is also evident in human females, and it is thought to believe that the hormones in women are similar in nature to those in fruit. So when many women are in close contact with each other for long periods of time their cycles become in sync, this is commonly called The Harem Effect.
you start to sync up with others mostly because of hormones
When you live with another woman or spend a lot of time with another woman, your bodies hormone levels are similar, thus your cycles start to come in sync because you're watching the same movies, eating the same foods, etc.
thats so true i didnt really notice that but i just relized when i got my period a couple of my friends got it the next couple of days. lol its soo weird!
Yeah, there have been scientific studies on this. It's true, women who live together or are in close daily contact with each other, their periods do start to sync up. My friends and roommates and even coworkers have done this to me.
I have 3 daughters and this happens all the time. It is weird isn't it. What is terrible is having to deal with 3 cases of PMS at the same time. lol I am so glad I had a hysterectomy.
If you hang around someone a lot, and she gets her period before you do, then most likely you'll get your period as well.

This is because when a girl gets her period, her body emits these hormones [I forgot what its called..]. But if you hang around her long enough, your body will pick up on these hormones and they'll act as a signal for your own cycle to begin.

[When I learned that in my biology class, I thought it was pretty neat too.!!]
