I read a lot of very scary statistics.
One out of three women over the age of 35 will not be able to get pregnant within a year.
The data on which that statistic is based is from birth records from 1700s France.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, 1680 to 1810 or something like that.
Well, you know, I can empathize slightly with the researchers in this area because
It is difficult to draw conclusions about age and fertility from modern populations where birth control is widely used.
It was published in 2004, and it found that women over 35 had
a much higher chance of getting pregnant than those historic birth records would suggest.
It found 82% got pregnant within a year.
What was really interesting is that wasn't all that different from women in their late 20s and early 30s, where the figure was 86%.
