How can they overlook something like that? According to that chart, pretty much any woman having a baby at 19 will have a boy, and at 22 a girl. How can they overlook something like that?

After their 18th birthdays they get taken into a special room and given the knowledge of contraception. Hence the sudden occurrence of pregnancies. It's so simple when you think about it.

Wow! Now THAT'S some magic we need over here - then at least we wouldn't have to worry about teenage pregnancy!

One of each gender. In the spirit of optimism for superstitious nonsense I can report that the chart is exactly half right. It's also curious to note that no Chinese women become fertile until they are 18 and abruptly lose this fertility at 45. Another fine example of how magic rules people's lives. I have twins.

I was 22 when I conceived my son in June of '88. I was 24 when I conceived my second son in September of '91. So, nope, I'd say it's wrong. Dead wrong and I say that, because some cultures practiced infencide (spelling?) if it was a girl and I think the Chinese was one group who did for a while.
