i thought it was just some kind of metaphor. guess you learn something new every day
Wow. Just wow.
I don't mean to be condescending, but what do you think PMS and ovulation is for?
Oh please. Women don't have 10,000 periods in their lifetime. The number of eggs has nothing to do with the biological clock. It's called menopause. Women stop ovulating because their body can no longer carry a healthy baby to term. It happens later in life, 40-50 I believe. Thats what they mean by their biological clock is ticking.
Men have a virtually unlimited amount of time to have kids. Their sperm remain very potent throughout their lives, although a new study shows that older men do have chromosome problems in their sperm. I think the study said it was really old males...generally past 70, when one would not want to have a kid anyway.
That must be the oldest living woman ever to have 10,000 PMS in their lives time.
