Do girls cycles wait for each other? I just moved in with my friend and we're both waiting for our periods...?

Question

Not pregnant took test.....but still waiting whats the deal?

Answer 1

if you just moved theres a good chance your body could be under stress. there are a number of reasons your period could be late.

if you JUST moved in together im sure thats not the case. when women live together, yes, their periods do sync, but its takes time for them to adjust.

if you are sexually active, which i am assuming considering you took the test, wait a week and take a pregnancy test again. they arent always accurate right away

Answer 2

Yeah.

There was a study that said that if women live with each other their periods usually happen at the same time...

Its strange because now me and my mom live together (my brother moved away for college) and our periods are at about the same time...

Answer 3

If neither of you are pregnant then you could be experiencing the same thing I did when I moved in with my two housemates. As only one of us was on the pill, my cycle (and the other housemates) moved so that we all started pretty much in the same couple of days.

It's called "synchronous menstruation", and can happen quite often to women living in close quarters - although there are criticisms of it being 'real'... (see 3rd ref)

Answer 4

???

Answer 5

Its been shown that     's cycles change to meet one anothers when they live together, so it makes sense
