Frequently Asked Questions | अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

Answers written for Indian women — honest, practical, and doctor-verified.

Where did the "period syncing" idea come from?

It traces back to a small 1971 study by Martha McClintock, which proposed pheromones could synchronise cycles. Later, larger studies with better methodology failed to replicate this.

Why does it feel like periods sync then?

Most menstrual cycles fall in a 21-35 day range. With that much overlap, two people's periods will randomly line up and drift apart repeatedly — it just feels like a pattern.

Do pheromones affect the menstrual cycle at all?

There's no strong, replicated evidence that human pheromones affect cycle timing. Larger, better-controlled studies have consistently found no synchronisation effect.

Is it worth tracking my cycle anyway?

Yes — tracking your own cycle (regardless of syncing) helps you spot irregularities early and plan around your fertile window or PMS symptoms.
