Talk:Female infertility

Unencyclopaedic?

IMPOV, the text below which I moved here seems rather encyclopaedic - a more systematic study on the issue may be required as a reference before reinsertion. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:24, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Because of media stories about celebrities having babies in their 40's, frequently without public knowledge that donor eggs (and thus somebody else's DNA) may have been used, even medical doctors have been mislead into believing they can wait longer than they should to have children and have had to see fertility specialists as a result: “I have doctors, I have PhDs, I have lawyers, I have very intelligent, educated women in my office every day who tell me, 'But I eat right and I exercise, and I'm healthy. How could I not be able to have a child?'”

Sherman Silbe claims

If nobody objects, I'm going to remove that paragraph - from : "Fertility specialist and book author Dr. Sherman Silber [18] states, in a message to women ...", his claims appear to be an obvious exaggeration i.e that 25% of women who are currently trying to conceive are infertile etc - the most cited figure is 10%- at most 15%; all his claims are also not based on any study/reliable source and appear to be just his opinion; they're also contradicted by most reliable sources; and more importantly this is giving undue weight (WP:UNDUE) to him. You can't just start quoting every person who has written a book about how to get pregnant. 188.25.163.145 (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
