Infertility runs in my family, lol... Both grandmothers, in the 1920s, had trouble conceiving and had unusually small families. My mother had a lot of trouble - many miscarriages, so I was an only child. I had a bad horse fall which displaced the only functioning ovary, so I only had one child. So this article may explain my family's dwindling birthrate. Thank you for offering a logical and fascinating theory, EGK!

Thanks for sharing...

My dad's side of the family also has a similar history... where with each successive generation had a tougher time.
