        Actually, that number is 35. The same is true of 15-20. Just because your body is at prime age doesn't necessarily mean you are at lower risk of producing a child with birth defects.

        Typically, for anywhere from 1-2 years from the beginning of menstruation, a female will typically miscarry OR be at greater risk of having offspring w/birth defects. The quality of her eggs is not great in the beginning.

        Parallels in studies with the biology of animals are out for long long time. The results are weird but senseless.
