When women reach their late thirties or forties, the likelihood of getting pregnant starts decreasing. This has been linked to the fact that their risk of having eggs with the wrong number of chromosomes is higher – a phenomenon known as aneuploidy.

Indeed. Nature wants to avoid this situation that can occur with aneuploidy:

And then there are the seamen which aren’t what they used to be.

To the chagrin of women in port-cities the world over.

Something to do with the repeal of "don't ask don't tell?"

He didn’t say it was impossible.
He said the likelihood declines.

What are YOU talking about?

Yup, it’s hard enough to keep up with children when you’re under 40. Kids take a lot of energy for nearly everything.

I once worked with a woman who had a son at the age of 50. The boy was 8 years old when I worked there and he was a perfectly healthy boy but I think the 50 is about the end of a woman’s fertility and not many women can have children up to that age.

If you read history women married between 16 and 18, you might have noticed that girls that age get a little crazy around then.

In ancient Egypt women married at 14. I tell my Granddaughter that parents wanted to avoid the disgusting teenage syndrome.

A man can make a baby at a very advanced age but women can’t.

My father died when I was a child from a heart condition but my mother lived to be 79 even though she had two chronic health conditions. She really wanted to live. She lived with us and the kids and she was always looking forward to something. She wanted to see the girls graduate from high school which she did. However she did not get her wish to see them marry. I think her living with us and seeing the kids grow up gave her a will to live.

They identified a specific defect in the eggs of older female mice, which resulted in these eggs having an abnormal number of chromosomes – and they think women may be going through something similar.

While we still have an enormous amount to learn about the human body and it's processes, our studies and tests have given us a remarkable insight into the biology of mice.

" I think her living with us and seeing the kids grow up gave her a will to live."

I'm sure it did. My sister who died at 69, passed away about a half hour into her birthday. She was in hospice care, and was not awake when she passed, but we all believed that she held out until she turned 69 so she wouldn't be younger than my mother was when she died.

At 12, a girl is not developed enough to bear a healthy baby. At 16-17, her body is fully grown.

I have daughters. The teen years were stressful. I can understand the temptation to get them married off and have their hormones be someone else’s problem.

That is an amazing story and similar to my mother who died five days after her birthday. We had a little birthday party for her in the hospital and we took pictures of her which was the last pictures that we had of her.
