    There was a post about this article a while back. 

    I find these interesting because I always wonder where the statistics come from. 

    I've also always wondered about women who had large families in the past, and those who don't use birth control at all.  They always seem to have kids up until their early 40s.

    Clearly, that is what we're all missing.

    @Squeepatrol:  Ha ha.  I actually got the name from that book.  I was trying to come up with a screen name and started thinking about book characters I could use.  Valancy was taken, so I added a "y."

    Another interesting bit of information is THIS youtube video about mutations. 

    It's a video explanation of this article: Original Article: Rate of de novo mutations and the importance of father's age to disease risk.
    Kong et al. Nature, 2012. 488 (7412) p. 471-475.
    Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

    Haha, I asked because it is my favorite! Love the screen name. Ok back to the fertility stats discussion (sorry OP).

    It's a character's name from a book, not actual personal information.

    DUDE.  It is against the TOU to disclose personal information about people.  If you needed to know the answer to that question, you should have PM'd her.  You can get banned for this.

    I think they were just chatting about book characters...or maybe I'm confused.

    No, you got it right. Sorry to stir up any issues-- it was like me asking of her last name was Bing if her first name was Monica.

    Oh my gosh, this has turned out to be a crazy thread. 

    Yes, it has to do with book characters.

    ETA: And I hadn't refreshed the screen before posting.  If I had seen your reply, I wouldn't have commented in the first place.  -  So that's "My bad" as they say.

    Nah, my bad for being coy and also stealing OP's thread. You were just maintaining order, which is what regs are for.
