      Hey Katepates

      Well this is a huge debate still. There has been lots of research on it for the past 30-40 years. Most researchers have found that there is no proof of this happening. Women have monthly cycles of different lengths to each other and sometimes even within their own cycle. Because of this they can never truly synchronize, instead they just randomly phase in and out of synchrony over the months. So sometimes you will match and others you wont.
