Who Knew? Some Fun Facts

Wait. How does that make sense? If a woman has children late how does that prevent menopause from happening earlier and probably not even allowing pregnancy to occur late or not? Or did l screw up again?

This is from the all wise perplexity.ai on the issue... :)

Let me clarify the relationship between childbirth, age of pregnancy, and menopause based on the available research:

Childbirth and Menopause Timing​

  1. Having children does appear to delay menopause to some extent, but the relationship is not straightforward:
    • Women with no childbirths tend to reach menopause earlier than those who have given birth
      2
      3
      .
    • Age at menopause increased with the number of childbirths, up to three children
      2
      4
      .
    • Beyond three childbirths, there was no further increase in the age of menopause
      2
      4
      .
  2. The delay in menopause is not directly related to having children later in life. Rather, it's associated with the number of pregnancies a woman has had throughout her reproductive years.

Late Pregnancies and Menopause​

Having children later in life does not prevent menopause from occurring earlier. In fact:
  • The trend of women having children later is a result of social changes and improvements in reproductive technologies
    1
    .
  • This trend of later childbirth is not causing menopause to be delayed; rather, it's allowing women to have children closer to their menopausal age.

Clarification on Your Statement​

Your statement "That is because having children late delays menopause" is not accurate. Having children, in general, may delay menopause slightly, but having them late does not specifically delay menopause. Women who have children later are doing so because of social changes and medical advancements, not because their menopause has been delayed.The ability to have children later in life is more a result of societal changes and medical interventions rather than a biological delay in menopause. Menopause still occurs around the same age range for most women, regardless of when they have their last child.

:) It wouldn't prevent, it would just delay maybe. Or maybe you're right. But our bodies are very perceptive and versatile, and menopause is a slow process, maybe taking 10 years or more.
(I've not seen you screw up, not even once.)

I don't know of course, but this is not what I have read and been taught.
I understood that a woman has about 30 fertile years. Periods often begin at ages ranging from 10 to 18. That would mean many menopauses would begin between the ages of 40 and 48. And the transition completed between 50 and 58 or so.

Origin of the modern pencil.

Not sure if today's school kids are familiar with it, but our generation definitely is. From what's known, the first graphite sticks were made in Germany 1662. More than a century later, a very important innovation took place, being a center stick of mixed graphite and clay (the usual modern blend) enclosed in a wood "case". By the end of the 19th century, it became common to manufacture pencils using the now familiar red-cedar casing.

50-year-old Eric Warren from Wolfforth, Texas recently pleaded guilty to bank robbery.​

In the summer of 2019, Warren went to a car dealership to test drive a BMW. They let him try it out solo, so he test drove the BMW to a bank and robbed it. He pulled out something that looked like a gun, demanded $10,000, and then took off.​

Warren went back to the dealership to use the stolen cash to buy the car, but while he was doing the paperwork, the cops called the dealership to let them know one of their cars was at the scene of a bank robbery that just went down. The staff connected the dots and kept Eric there until the cops showed up.

Warren was in court this week and pleaded guilty to bank robbery. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
