Hormone in females that causes them to fall in love

Question

I read from somewhere that its been proven that once a girl gets her period, her body produces a hormone (that starts with oxy something( that when she first becomes intimate with a man, it makes her fall in love. I don't know where I heard this from, but is it true?

Answer 1

Falling in love is a very powerful and complex mechanism. I am not sure that there are just any hormone or chemical complex that makes a person fall in love, some may help.

Oxytocin is a hormone that tends to make people more social and more willing to form stronger social bonds.  I don't know about bonding to the point of being in love.

its called oxytocin i think..its released when people hug each other or have a pleasant physical contact with one another..

Answer 3

There is no hard evidence for human pheromones but there have been experiments. One included taking sweat from exercising men and hid it in a room where women were asked if they found certain men attractive. In the presence of the sweat the women found more of the men attractive than the same men with women who were not in the presence of the sweat.
