Estrogen surge at Trevi Fountain

Do women really get estrogen surges when they visit the Trevi Fountain in Rome? Do they get all wishing they were Dorothy McGuire, Jean Peters or Maggie McNamara as in 3 Coins in a Fountain?

Yes, Terry, it's true. A recent article in the International Unmedical Journal of Female Phenomena describes that, in gatherings of ten or more women focused on the fountain, the height of the spray increased by as much as 12 inches. There is some speculation that estrogen levels of the women may correlate to the height of the fountain focused upon. Go figure. <BR> <BR>

How would one know that they are experiencing an estrogen surge?

Absolutely positively si si si--along with auditory hallucinations of il vecchio occhi azzuri singing that beautiful schmaltzy tune.
