Are shorter women more fertile?

Question

i overheard a myth that shorter women are more fertile? if this is true, is 5'7 tall? what determines fertility? sorry if this sounds like a dumb ?.

Answer 1

complete myth--if it were true women would be getting shorter not taller. and the basis for this myth probably has to do with the fact that most men prefer a mate that is shorter than they are. so more chances to mate for the shorty, but height does not have a true bearing on fertility unless too short to carry a baby.

Answer 2

I am 5 ft 1 and never was pregnant

Answer 3

No and neither are taller ones!

The environment and many other factors affect fertility.

In a recent documentary, researchers have found that men and women are, in fact, less fertile now.

Answer 4

That's simply not true.

Fertility is determined by a whole variety of factors. But probably the most influential aspect is diet, amount of fat, amount of exercise, and overall health. You have to have a certain percentage of body fat to be fertile. Many very skinny women are less fertile than women who are a little heavier. Estrogen is in part produced in fat cells, so there's not enoug estrogen to menstruate if you don't have enough fat cells. Conversely, if you are very fat, you will be less fertile. Your fat will be producing too much estrogen and your menstrual cycle will be abnormal. Stress also causes  your menstrual cycle to be less regular. There are also genetic factors--if there are abnormalities, then you might not be fertile. For men, they have to have a certain sperm count to be fertile. If the sperm count is too low, they are not fertile. Sperm count is affected by their levels of testosterone, which is affected by their exercise and body fat, too, though body fat plays only a small roll--men will remain fertile even when quite skinny, but they will likely lose their s*x drive when too skinny.
