Like that for a lot of us, our periods just happen to be 29 days long, which is the same length as the lunar cycle.

Yeah.

I guess so, right.

I mean, yeah, it could just be a coincidence.

but maybe something else is going on here.

And so like for Charlotta, she started wondering, how long have I been getting my periods at the full moon?

And luckily enough, she had actually been keeping track of when she was getting her period for basically her entire life.

Like she started when she first started getting her period.

And kept all these little calendars at her home in a cabinet.

And so now she went back to check, like, has this always been a thing for me?

Amazing.

And just by eye, she could tell that, like, oh, yeah, for, like, many years of my life, I've either been synced with the full moon or sometimes it was the new moon.

And so she starts wondering, all right, how many people is this, like, true for?

Hmm.

So she asks her mom and her sister if they kept their calendars, and they did.

And she looked at their data and saw similar stuff.

And so it took her about 10 years to collect this data from 22 women who had kept track of their cycles for an average of 15 years of their life.

Wow.

Okay.

And so now we can find out, do people on average get their periods more often around the time of a full moon?
