WOMEN GETTING ON THE SAME MENSTRUAL CYCLE...?

HI, THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT, SO I FIGURED I'D ASK...WHY IS IT WHEN 2 WOMEN BECOME CLOSE, & ARE AROUND EACH OTHER A LOT, THAT THEY GET ON THE SAME MENSTRUAL CYCLE?. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ALL THROUGH MY LIFE...IT STARTED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL - MY BEST FRIEND (AT THAT TIME) & I GOT ON THE SAME CYCLE. THEN LATER ON AS I GOT GIRL-FRIENDS (I'M A LESBIAN) I GOT ON THE SAME CYCLE TRACK AS THEM....WHY & HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

THANKS :)

    I've heard that since we are technically animals, we can sense each other's hormonal levels. Don't ask me how. this then affects our own hormonal levels. This has happened to me too. It's eerie isn't it?

    There are many many theories on this. Right down to all the women having their time at the full moon. This is a natural phenomenen that is largely unexplained. Wicca is the one that will talk about it the most as they tend to follow what transpires closest to nature, than any other religion.

    I have read something in Buddism also, but nothing in the tailor made religious sects. ie. Catholic, Lutheran.. I am sure someone with Bible references will correct me on this.

    Pretty cool though hey, that something so personal becomes so much a part of society.

    I have heard this before and it is true. It's happened to me all of my life. I've heard that it's due to something in the air that we inhale and exhale that changes our cycle. Which is why it happens after you've been around someone in close spaces for an extended amount of time.

    I have absolutely no idea, but it is definately true.. My mom, sister, myself, and my friends all start within the same week, It is strange.. but it shows that we as women can share some serious bonds... cool huh?!?!?!
