It happens to everyone.. That happens because you spend a lot of time together. And you always most of the time have the same moods.. That's just what my mom told me..

Pheromones are basically a substance secreted by the body that act as a biological communication system between beings of the same species (so, dog pheromones have no effect on humans). There are different types of pheromones, including sex pheromones, which researchers think are part of what makes us attracted to people. In animals, pheromones are secreted when one is at an appropriate stage to mate, signaling to other animals (again, of the same species), that mating would most likely conclude in procreation.

Period synchronization is thought to act under the same signaling principle. Women on their periods secrete different amounts of pheromones because of the hormone fluctuations that happen during menstruation. The theory is that when other women detect these pheromones, the pheromones cause their menstrual cycles to shorten slightly. When this happens over long periods of time, eventually the cycles will sync. However, the research on this has had conflicting results. There is no solid proof that synchronization actually happens. Remember ladies, one example of synchronization doesn't prove a theory, it only gives one example!

It's supposedly that women in groups' cycles correlate with the most 'dominant' female's cycle. At least that's what I've been told.
