[quote=Anonymous]I just want to point out two things about those studies. 1) The numbers about drops in fertility each year are AVERAGES across entire populations. Individual women's fertility will drop at individual rates. For Cindy, her fertility might drop each year by exactly 0.5% each year. For Sally, her fertility might drop by exactly 3% each year from 30 to 40. Meanwhile, for Laura, her fertility might plummet between age 30 and 31 by 5%. So, drops will vary in their degree and in their timing. Marcia can't look at those average numbers and draw much useful info from them other than the very general fact that the overall trend is for her fertility to decrease over time. 2) Different individuals have different levels of fertility at age 30. One 30-year-old woman might have a 4.5/5 chance of getting pregnant within 6 months at age 30 while another has only a 4/50 chance. Those fertility drops from age 30 to 40 won't matter nearly as much to the first woman. [/quote]
