Today, I'm apparently so desperate for companionship that my body has subconsciously synced my period with the girl who works in the cubicle adjacent to mine. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML
Today, my boss called me in to have a serious talk. The "serious talk" was him asking me to notify him of my menstrual cycle ahead of time so he can "avoid that shit". FML
Today, I realized that without fail, even if I'm not supposed to get it, I get my period just in time for vacations. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to start using a period tracker app so I can tell him which week of each month he needs to "stay the hell away" from me. FML
Today, I went on a first date. We had the same phone, and we'd put them down next to each other on the table. I get a message and we both look. It’s my period tracker telling me to be careful, because the floodgates are opening. FML
Today, I found out that my wife and two teenage daughters' periods are all one week after the other. I am living in hell almost every single day. FML
Today, I started a new job. I also started my period, and have the shits. FML
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, I started my period, complete with cramps, diarrhoea, a headache, bloating, and aching legs. Apparently my body didn't get the message that I had a total hysterectomy a month ago, including my ovaries, tubes and cervix. FML
Today, while my partner usually has their work mic muted, I went in and complained about my period. Turns out today was the one day they didn't have it muted. Their whole team heard, and I used to work with some of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You realize that your desperate need for companionship and the cycle sync are unrelated, right? Women who work or live in close proximity often experience synced menstrual periods. So, you're not special. Sorry.

How do you know it synced with hers?

Your body is trying to help you make friends! Get over there and share a hello and a box of tampons!

Just like twilight sparkle! Only Celestia not OPs body. And instead of tampons the elements of harmony.

Take some chocolate to share to work and make a new friend.

That happens naturally. It doesn't mean you're desperate for companionship. Look it up.

Oh no. I hope that doesn't mean you're desperate for companionship. Mine is synced with my moms and best friends'. I must be one lonely girl.

One day, in the not too distant future, ALL uteruses will become synched, creating some kind of super evil uterine faction... Or was that just on an episode of the twilight zone??? Haha

At least you know who always has a spare tampon, just in case ;)

Periods sync up. It's nothing to do with being desperate for companionship. It's just a hormone thing. :)

Quite possibly the most awkward thing I've ever read..... *flips through 50 Shades of Grey* *facepalm*

What woman enjoys her period?
