Fertility after 35

Shouldn't it be fertility after 30? Why 35? Epachamo 17:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Good point, I'll change it.--Tdkehoe 15:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

March of Dimes?

Is the MoD really the best source for this info? I guess it's not Reader's Digest but there must be something better?!? Thanks, Hu Gadarn 22:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

removing original research

I'm removing the following info. It effectively declares itself to be original research, which isn't allowed. Also, it isn't correct. The numbers used are for Down syndrome, not miscarriage. And even if they were the numbers for miscarriage, they wouldn't necessarily reflect the same population studied in the numbers for conception. --Allen 23:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Multiplying the conception rate times the miscarriage rate times the birth defect rates should yield a rough likelihood of a healthy birth: 30-year-olds: .91 x .85 x .999 = 77% 35-year-olds: .84 x .80 x .9975 = 67% 40-year-olds: .64 x .55 x .99 = 35% (Note: These statistics are mathematically projected (interpolated) and not the results of actual study.)

Great Information Resource about Fertility...

Hey everyone,

This website helped me out alot during my research for more information. It is called Fertility Pro Registry. It has legit FAQ’s and detailed info links (very helpful) to different possible procedures and stuff. It made my searching much easier because everything is in one place instead of having to aimsley search for different information and advertisements (annoying). I figured I would pass it on. It also lists a bunch of info on Fertility Centers and Specialists throughout the states.

Best of luck.

Section on what causes infertility in humans?

Would such a section be practicable?LCP 01:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Check out Infertility which pretty much covers it - you might want to add a section or a see also EdwardLane (talk) 16:26, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Menstrual Cycle

I added the statement that "women can become pregnant at any time during their menstrual cycle," which I know is open to interpretation, but as it stood, it sounded like pregnancy was only possible a few days a month so to speak. I know there is a lot of misinformation out there. I'd hate to have some uneducated woman read this article and think that preganancy was impossible during most of her menstrual cycle, only to discover otherwise by direct experience.

Title needs to be clarified (far too vague & general)

The title needs to be changed to "human fertility" to distinguish it from current or future articles about the fertility of other organisms.--Tyranny Sue (talk) 07:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Symbol

Can the goddess/fertility symbol be placed at wikipedia commons and integrated ? This symbol would be: http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-53687.html , see also http://www.layoutsparks.com/1/186523/symbol-multiple-logo-collage.html (sign of the goddess, name of goddess)
