That probably gives you a much better chance, sure. However, common
talk (ie. I have no scientific evidence to back this up) seems to
indicate that the main reason fertility is dropping is as a result of
delaying having children. Out grandparents and great grandparents had
tonnes of children and had them well into their forties. Women these
days are very lucky to fall pregnant in their forties, let alone have a
healthy baby. Anyway, the problem apparently is that we are 'designed'
to fall pregnant not too long after we start menstruating, have the
child, breastfeed for a year or so (ie. usually women don't conceive
when breastfeeding), then when menstruation resumes, have another one,
then the same thing happens again. But because we're forever trying to
control our fertility and playing havoc with our own cycles we're kind
of ruining things for ourselves.

Anyway, this must be boring all you blokes. Sorry!

According to my sister, this is a myth.

Not me. I want to be a father. I've just hit decrepitude (aka I'm now
thirty years of age). Suffice to say that, if I end up with a woman my
own age, give or take a year, this is a matter of no small importance to
me.

Of course, if I end up with a woman who's six or seven years younger,
it's less important to me. However, the point still remains: that it's
something ticking away at the back of my mind.

It is. My daughter-in-law fell for that one, and got my wife the
granddaughter she wanted. :-)

Don't apologies. I might be available some time in the future and you
never know your luck. Just means older women have advantages (like
highly reduce chance of a support request a few months after).

Really? I haven't actually looked into it, but I was fairly sure that
was the case, generally speaking... it would make sense, that's for
sure.

I think you should chase Tamyka. That's what I'd be doing if I was a
bloke. Actually, I'm thinking about it even though I'm not one.

I'm pretty sure that with her level of fitness, I'd stand absolutely no
chance of catching her. Too fast, you see.

My mother breastfed all of her children for a year to 18 months. There is 21
months between my older sister and me, and 15 months between myself and my
younger brother. You work it out Lotte.

Theo, you will find that I have already been corrected and I readily
accepted the earlier correction (ie. I don't really need two). You
like to try to belittle people, don't you?
