Well, I think that a lot of us are on birth control... can you imagine if every single person on birth control were synch'd? It would be a force to be reckoned with.

I guess those on combo pills could all decide to take the placebos the last week of the month always.

The Earth's axis changes all the time. Although the title of this section is just genius given the context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt#Long_period_variations

I think it's pretty close, actually. Was it not last week that there were like 10 period posts in a row? I skimmed through them thinking, ugh me too.

Dude, I'm supposed to be getting it THIS week, and I got it LAST week, instead! It's working over The Internets!!

How would this change the earth's axis? Just curious, I mean I know it's a joke, but I don't get it so what am I missing?

I'm guessing something like the combined synchronous cycling will steal angular momentum from the earth, ala the famous xkcd, and will change the Earth's axis.

Ok, I get it now, thanks for the info!

There was a "movie" made with this concept (kind-of) http://youtu.be/8m9uEN9Xlwc
edit:better version

i think im 9 days away from Aunt Flo's visit. Anyone else? I mean, i could try to will it sooner?

I'm around there, but I have a convention in early August. I'm sure it'll wait until then.

So do I! I'm planning on taking two packs in a row because of course mine is scheduled to start the second day of the con. Yeah, uh, no, uterus.

A large, nerdy con in Dallas, perchance?

Nope, sorry. A small single-fandom con in Boston.

I'm always amazed at those girls lucky enough to have regular periods. On the pill, I'd still have a few days of "wiggle room" as to when my period would actually start. Off of it, it could be between 2 and 6 weeks between periods. Sometimes more. I just...I don't even know what to do with my uterus.
2
ditto on the "wiggle room"...It's so infuriating!
1
at least i would know when it's coming. i haven't gotten on hormonal BC yet so every month it's like my uterus shouting "SURPRISE!" at me. i no likey that kind of surprise.
