I hope this just means I'm late to the party, not that it's all downhill from here...

4 years is a long time mate, we didn't even know what covid was 4 years ago. You keep quoting that egg thing, it doesn't really have much to do with the family planning decisions people should or should not make.

The wikipedia link says exactly what I said, the time range here is 1 yr. You are only looking at the 1 year timeline without intervention. over a 5year time span the majority are able to conceive (2/3rds) and that's before you start considering the various interventions that can take place. Non-invasive over the counter medication and lifestyle choices can boost the per menstruation success rate up to about 10%, which means a 40yr old taking Viagra is about as fertile as a as a 30yr old doing nothing special.
