![]() ![]() ![]() Wheeler looked at period start dates for 1.5 million users of Clue who had not tracked the use of any form of hormonal birth control. “Looking at the data, we saw that period start dates fall randomly throughout the month, regardless of the lunar phase.” Wheeler is a Data Scientist at Clue who also has a PhD in Astrophysics from the University of Oxford and spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics in Potsdam, Germany. “What you normally hear is that you ovulate around the full moon and get your period around the new moon,” said. Our data science team analyzed 7.5 million cycles and found no correlation between the lunar phases and the menstrual cycle or period start date. Clue’s research into moon phases and menstruation Does the menstrual cycle synchronize with the lunar cycle? Not according to an analysis of over 7.5 million cycles. We are often asked to add lunar cycles into Clue, so we ran the numbers to check it out, scientifically. The terms “menstruation” and “menses” come from Latin and Greek words meaning month (mensis) and moon (mene). The lunar cycle and the average menstrual cycle are basically equal in length. The lunar and menstrual cycles will correlate more or less for some people-depending how closely their average cycle length matches the lunar cycle, and the variability of their cycle length. The menstrual cycle does not sync with the lunar cycle, according to our analysis of over 7.5 million cycles. ![]()
