message: Is the MoD really the best source for this info? I guess it's not Reader's Digest but there must be something better?!? Thanks, Hu Gadarn 22:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  March of Dimes? 

message: I'm removing the following info.  It effectively declares itself to be original research, which isn't allowed.  Also, it isn't correct.  The numbers used are for Down syndrome, not miscarriage.  And even if they were the numbers for miscarriage, they wouldn't necessarily reflect the same population studied in the numbers for conception.  --Allen 23:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Section on what causes infertility in humans?

message: I added the statement that "women can become pregnant at any time during their menstrual cycle," which I know is open to interpretation, but as it stood, it sounded like pregnancy was only possible a few days a month so to speak.  I know there is a lot of misinformation out there.  I'd hate to have some uneducated woman read this article and think that preganancy was impossible during most of her menstrual cycle, only to discover otherwise by direct experience.

message: The title needs to be changed to "human fertility" to distinguish it from current or future articles about the fertility of other organisms.--Tyranny Sue (talk) 07:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Symbol

message: I think a historical and/or anthropological section is sorely missing from this page. Humanity has gone through great variations in our rates of fertility according to our social mores, religion and marriage outlook. It would be nice to have some kind of graph demonstrating changes in fertility over the long term, with highlights of relevant historical events. This information should be highly specific to regions, and not be global statistics, and of course be lifespan correlated. I haven't read much about this but the information must be out there? thanks --Tallard (talk) 01:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anthropological Perspective 

message: It appears that this article's scope is strictly anthropocentric: it doesn't discuss fertility in any type of organism besides humans. Are there any articles on Wikipedia that discuss this subject, which appears to be completely absent from this article? Jarble (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it would be more appropriate simply to retitle the article to "Human fertility." Adding fertility in nonhuman organisms would make this article far too long and complicated.~Mack2~ 00:33, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fertile age 

message: I have added tags to this and fecundity pages to highlight the problem with changing definitions depending on which field is using the term. This leads to differing usage of fertility, fecundity and derivative terms depending on whether the term is being used in demography, epidemiology or clinical medicine. For example fertility in demography is the actual production of live births by a female, while in clinical medicine it refers to the potential for a woman to become pregnant.

replies: text: I haven't examined all these sources closely, but at first glance this appears to me to be mostly WP:DUE and decently written. The one suggestion I have for now is to omit the Synapse / koreamed.org source which is clearly a very flawed piece of writing. I don't know if some of the problems stem from the authors running it through Google Translate or what, but apparently non-sequitur statements like "The death toll has reached 300,000" (!?) lead me to believe there is something wildly amiss. That's leaving aside the fact that the authors appear to be unaware of the existence of social science methodologies or that correlation does not equal causation.
