Syncing Up (Joy started TMI day :)

My two female coworkers and I are officially synced up with the period thing. You know, you hang around the same girls every day and eventually you all have your period at the same time. This phenomenon is just the strangest thing to me. I also wonder what the biological purpose of it is? IT'S SO WEIRD. My male boss has picked up on the fact that we all get a little pissy and on edge around the same times now, and he's slightly scared of us. Are you synced up with anyone? Am I the only one that is absolutely amazed at what the human body does sometimes?

    Hahaha I'm not, I think all the girls I work with have IUD's so that changes it. I don't think I ever really have been...
    It is a freaking weird thing though.

    I don't think I am here at work, but I don't chat with the girls about their period so I can't know for sure. My mom and I were though, when I lived at home. That was weird, and hell on my stepdad.

    I think H is somehow synched with me, mood wise. Either that or he's always in a PMS mood.

    But I agree, it's beyond my ability to understand how that can happen. The body freaking amazes me sometimes.

    My daughters are 17 and 19 and we are in sync.  Which is absolutely terrifying for my DH.  Haha.

    It's hard to say at my job, because there isn't that much interaction (since we're in the classroom all day).  But I do wonder WTF the purpose of synching is?  It must have some kind of biological purpose, right?

    The part that I find so weird is that I'm on the pill, so my period's (that's not actually a period because you don't ovulate on BC pills) supposed to be completely regulated by artificial hormones. But my body has still found a way to sync up with the other two, who aren't on BC. Pheremones are stronger than artificial hormones, apparently.

    Go me!

    I'm on the pill, so I can't sync with people.  My computer is broken. :(

    I think it's really cool that the human body does this.  Many other species all give birth at the same time of the year.  Maybe it's better to have many mothers to care for young instead of just one overworked mom?

    I was synced up with my mom at one point. I think it's completely strange! I'm not sure if I'm synced with anyone else now. Most of my friends are gay men.

    I am too, but my body still found a way :/ I was a couple days late last month, didn't start til like my fourth sugar pill and I was kind of weirded out. In light finding out we all started within days of eachother though, I think it was my body reacting to my coworker's cycles.

    There's some kind of biological/physiological purpose at work here among mammals - perhaps making sure the entire herd is 'receptive' at the same time for procreation.

    Or, it could be their's reacting to yours.

    Regardless, that is weird.  Nature is neat.

    When I lived at home my mom and my two sisters and I were all in sync. My brother and dad hid in the garage that week.

    My female roommate ( I have two guy roommates too) and I are both on some form of BC so I doubt that we will sync.

    I'm definitely not, but I hardly ever get my period, which has its pros and cons.

    Jess- maybe thats my problem, if someone synced up with me that'd mean they'd have an effed up cycle too.

    When I'm in the throes of cramps (I get really, really bad ones), I keep reminding myself "this means you're not pregnant. that's worth having cramps." It would be nice to not be in mind bending pain once a month, but I think not having a period would kind of weird me out.

    Anyway, when I get mine it's a "Seriously, good. I'm not KU." Before I was married, I didn't care since we waited until we got married, but now, I don't like it. I wish I had a monthly reminder that I'm not KU.

    Where I used to work a few of us girls were in sync. So I know what you mean.

    I had one girl that never kept track of hers, so I kept it in my calendar and she would ask me when she was suppose to start. Bad I know.

    When I was in college we had my 6 roomies synced, and the 6 girls who shared the bathroom with us were synced. It was really annoying.

    One of my roomies got her period every 2 weeks though. I felt so bad for her :(

    Here's one theory I found

    So what do women who menstruate at the same time every month have in common? The stress pattern. In the above example, these two women both work in the same environment. As such, they have common stressors such as project deadlines, renewal of contracts, etc. The same story is frequently heard among women who live in a dorm together in a university. Once again, the stress environment is the common factor such as, quarterly exams, midterms, finals, etc. During times of stress, ovulation is delayed. When the stressors disappear, ovulation occurs and the menstrual periods begin approximately 2 weeks later.

    I am on BC and I work with my sister who has an IUD and my period is pretty much set to come at the same time each month. She says her period is a lot worst now that she has the IUD. These last few months we got it around the same  time. Next month we are planning to go to a water park and we are scheduled to get it a week apart.

    Oh, that's awful. That only happened to me once, right after I got my period for the first time. Mine's been pretty much like clockwork since I was 15 or so.

    Ugh, Katie- for a while I got mine every 2 weeks and they'd last a long time it was the worst. Seriously, sucky, suck. I got to miss a lot of school though :)

    The girls on my month board did that. They had one for every day of the week. I remember TMI Tuesday, WTF Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, and Friday Five. I can't remember Monday.

    LC- mine did that too, even though I was on the pill, my freshman year of college.  I think about 12-14 of us were all the same week. It was awful.  The guys on the next hall ended up calling our hallway "PMS Alley."

    Yep all my friends in HS hated me because I was the person's cycle who everyone else adjusted to.
    It happened recently with my FSIL too because we hung out all the time before she moved.
    Nothing at work though, I'm the only woman here.
