A Letter to Your Uteruses
Dear Xanga Uteruses, I received a message from Ampersands_Anonymous and apparently you are all cycling at the same time.
Here is her message:
“Some of the girls I read have noticed that everyone is cycling around the same time. I think it would be interesting if you made a post to ask how many of us were cycling at the moment. You know the old myth that women who spend too much time together have their periods sync up? I’m beginning to think we women spend too much time on Xanga.”
So ladies, lets test to see if this is a myth.
When do you start your period?

May 11th. Kthx.
Yesterday.
It just started. Wait, WHAT??
In 6 days, 4 hours, 23 minutes and 52 seconds.
ummm idk maybe in two weeks or so
Today.
O.o Who gives a care when…well other than her and you….
that’s a cute uterus by the way.
just finished yesterday.
BOOYAH!
Two days…. if I’m unlucky. if i’m lucky i won’t get it because of how i treat my body.
… I kind of wish my uterus was as cute as that one up there…
I have been expecting Tom since Monday.
That uterus looks punctured. Some lady really got angry…
3 days ago
I should start May 14th..
But it would be a miracle if that happened!
My period is usually a few days late or early.
If I start a period, someone call emergency health services to fix me.
May 5th
Dear Dan,
Why, that’s amazing. I started my period on the 24th.
Whoops. I forgot. I play an old bald guy on Xanga.
Never mind.

Yesterday : /
mine was due 5 days ago. O.o
I ended mine a week ago…
In about a week.
Here’s the only period I hope to see ever again -> .
I know of one sure fire way to get all the ladies to stop Aunt Flow…
@Roadlesstaken - we will submit you to human research instead… =D such a phenomena cannot go to waste.
three days ago!
Now I just think you’re jealous of our powerful, powerful uteruses. HAHA suck it.
@saintvi - LOL!
Today!
I was supposed to have it this week! But I cheated with my birth control so I could deal with it AFTER Prom.
yesterday!
I had my period last week. It just ended on Sunday.
Is uteruses really the plural of uterus? I think it would sound better if it was uterei.
My periods are fairly irregular. Lately they’ve been appearing around the beginning of each month, but that could change at any time.
Last week. Thank God it’s over!
Actually, I think mine just ended today. But you can never be too sure…
last night
The 19th
In like 2 weeks.
the 28th of each month. psychosomatic, but still.
@saintvi - Ahahahahah. That was the funniest comment I’ve read alll day. Thank you. :0)
Today…
I had it last week.
@saintvi - lol
Two nights ago, oobleck.
What a miserable question!
Today
It is supposed to be starting today…….but so far nothing…which is really annoying. and prom is this weekend! this is just one thing I’d rather not have to deal with now. Thank you, Mother Nature.
funny stuffed animal? plush uterus?
and are you keeping these dates somewhere, why are they important?
that’s what my uterus looks like!!!
I never know when I get mine. I’m very inconsistent… but this month I got it twice.. :/
i dunno whats wrong with me…:(
but its all good!
Yesterday.
Ew. I can’t believe this trend.
Three days ago, sir.
Sometime in the next week or two. I don’t keep track of it, really. I always seem to get it the day after I have the thought “hm, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it.”
ended last Friday.
Been on mine for like three days now.
it’ll be around May 9th or 10th
@repressedwriter - I want it for my room just so I could take out my frustration on the physical manifestation of my pain. Plus it looks soft, cute, and cuddly
(P.S. yay for cycling on the same day. Its like a club)
@ConfusionwithaK11 - that’s exactly what I was thinking!!! Beat the heck out of it and then cuddle it when the biological clock ticks too loudly. Maybe I’ve shared too much. lol
Is this some kind of sick joke to see how many us will actually answer the question?
Ok, whatever. in 7 days.
i can’t have one anymore….WOOT FOR BIRTH CONTROL!
a lot of my friends blog around their periods, and oddly enough we all seem to start around the same time.
my periods tend to be very irregular, but they usually start between the 14th and the 30th of every month.
Not til May 13th.
But it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that a good deal of people on xanga are ‘in sync’, considering there are only 4 weeks to choose from. And plenty of room for overlap.
This definitely gives women the unfair advantage in the vanedave conest.
Ever since I had Mirena implanted, I haven’t had one. It’s been three years now.
Yep count me in. Weird isn’t it?
I sold my uterus on the blackmarket.
Hmmm…
@MidwesternShenanigansIN - How much are they going for theses days? I’d like a new camera lens.
in 1 week
Are you getting off knowing these things about your female readers, Dan? Tsk, tsk. Why am I not surprised?
Today. I’ve been sick & stressing though because I usually start on Wednesday.
4 or 5 days ago, and still going
May 14th
knocked up…so no vagina bleeding for me for awhile
I just started mine today. It’s due to all these posts floating around, I tell ya!
The cycle phenomenon happens when women spend time together in person… it’s a complex mix of pheromones, hormones, psychological factors, etc. That’s not to say if you have a large enough group of women that a seemingly large number would by cycling “at the same time.” It’s all a matter of statistics at that point.
Wow, I sound like such a kill-joy… sorry about that
@SparklingFaery - Good point!
I have cushing syndrome. It happens sporadically. So, I have no idea.
I’m too awesome to get periods. Good thing I don’t want kids.
I have yet to get mine. It usually comes… whenever it freaking pleases. There have been certain points in my life where it came in about a five day window, but that time has ended.
I get it about once every 2-8 months.
Usually when I don’t want it, so I’m guessing late July, lol
Monday.
But how many woman on Xanga actually hang out in real life life? Isn’t it an “in person” kind of thing. Ha, I said “in person” because the period…nevermind. I should get mine in a week.
Is that one the version with a zip at the back, or is it the cheap one without a zip?
half past never thank god for IUD’s
Sounds like somebody’s fishin for somethin to me!
@Starshine_Faerie - <=
In two months and like 4 days. Or make that 6 since it takes a few days for it to start at the end of the 3 month pill cycle. Yay for having periods bad enough that my doctor put me on Seasonique.
I don’t get periods, it’s nice. I like to pretend sometimes so people will buy me chocolate.
Alright, screw my last comment. This entry totally screwed up my body and started this crap.
PREGNANT!
three days ago p-pÂ
I finished mine a week ago. xD
now
starting soon. within the next week.
Just started.
i feel it. its coming. tomorrow or saturday, but my uterus is definitely beginning it’s little song and dance.
yesterday.
May 3rd, ish.
some of these comments are just hilarious. Since I finished mine a couple days ago i’ll probably start in another month.
Ended today.
Mine just finished today. lol
i think it’s true. when i was friends with a group of girls we hung out every single day and yeah we all had our periods pretty much at the same time give or take a couple days.
mine always started the 1st of every month for the past 6 months now it recently starts around the 20th – just got off mine a few days ago. idk why it changes like that.
Yesterday. Also, I don’t think it’s a myth about women cycling together when they spend a lot of time together. It really does happen, and I’ve experienced it many times. I was in colorguard in highschool, and even though when the year started we were each different weeks…after a while…you can imagine. xD
me and my uterus…we don’t get along. she is a b****. =)
Started yesterday. But it’s true! The whole cross country team would together. And all of my roomates would. It’s so strange.
Hahaha, I’m actually starting it this weekend!
…But, I’m on the pill, so it’s not cause I’m synced with the other women on Xanga. I used to sync to my mom before I started the pill/she had her hysterectomy though!
It’s not a myth. It’s because you produce extra hormones during your cycle, and when you’re in close living proximity with other females, your hormones will affect each other.
But my pill throws everything off. I start next Sunday.
Mine just ended. Yay!
Yesterday!
I’m very disturbed that you found a plush in the shape of a uterus.
Today. Today’s my last day, though.
Sometime in the next 8 months maybe. Whenever it decides to come I guess. It will be spectacularly painful, I suspect.
April 27th
Given the fact that every woman has a period once a month for about 5 to 7 days, makes the chances of the females on Xanga “cycling” together substantial.
I think if you’re physically around someone menstruating.. you’ll start to as well.. Happened to me when I went on a trip to Vietnam.. Five out of six girls started their periods at around the same time.
Mine just ended.
my roommates and i went on a week-long cruise to mexico during which we were together 24 hours a day. two of us messed up the cycles of the other two.
I start May 5th, 2010.
It just started!… day before yesterday.
I started mine two days ago… April 28th.
Either in a few days or not until June…mine starts up whenever the hell it feels like it. :
it’s coming..I’m already pmsing..>_> it’s being late though..hahah
You may not know this, but I’m on my period right now (*o*)
I ended a little over a week ago.
@saintvi - Niiiiiiiiiiiiice, i agree with that.
I got mine on April 27th! =p
@Starshine_Faerie - Dude, same here!
But I finished yesterday! hahaha.
Last week. Pretty close.
@TightJeansDreams - I suffer only 2 days, lucky me. Well, I don’t even suffer really. I wake up and go “ahhh, one of those days,” complain to my daddy so I get chocolate and coke, and the next day it’s pretty much done with. I call it my candy-pamper-day. =D
Two days ago.
3 days ago
3 days ago.
That’s slighlty creepy. XD
Three days ago, as though exam week wasn’t enough on its own
Once a month.
@CrystallineFigurines - Oh you can find plush sexual organs, vagina jewelry, and much much more at the Black Hole for Handmade, AKA Etsy.
yesterday and i’m not fucking happy about it >.<
I’m breastfeeding and am not getting mine right now…it’s kinda weird.
today haha.
probably in two or three weeks.
in two weeks!
Theory disproved
next week.
last friday
Two days ago!
Crying at the same time? Here, we all go out to the bar and get hammered at the same time. Oh wait, that’s every other night.
There ain’t no good way of calling when I’ll get mine. I’ve gone months without one before. It’s awesome.
Im not trying to be rude.. Honest.. But the synced menstral cycles is only because your female hormones combine with the hormones from other women when you around them (in person) it couldnt happen through xanga..its probably just a odd fact that a lot of them are the same.
Today.
I knew it was today because when I woke up, blood was shooting out of my penis.
I think I’ll go ask Yahoo Answers if this is normal.
2 more days….
I just got off my period the other day. XD
I hope on the 14th…
Sometime this week.
I thought menstrual synchrony was not a myth? But I do believe it’s when women are in close proximity to each other for an extended period of time (eg. college roommates). It has to do with the pheromones that your body emits.
I could be completely off base here.
