Is it true that periods synchronise when women live together?


It's commonly believed that women who live together eventually experience the syncing of their monthly periods. But could it just be chance?

"I definitely think it's true," says Emma. "It would be too much of a coincidence otherwise."
Emma, 24, lived with five girls at university. She says that within a few months they all had their period at the same time.
