And yeah, I believe you, but I am blown away by that statistic and I might like to do some further research concerning their study group and what factors they actually researched concerning fertility rates. I would be more interested in seeing the median rate and the specific age group that they studied because there is no way that the fertility of an 18 year old could be the same as the fertility of a 30 year old. But like you said, age, weight, stress etc.
Plan B IS available OTC but it costs up to $90 depending on which pharmacy you go to and from MY experience, general knowledge regarding Plan B, it's availability and it's purposes is not entirely... prevalent might I say? I have spoken to more people that don't know what it is than people that are familiar with it. I know that this does not say much considering my social group is of the rather uneducated sort but bringing awareness to Plan Bs availability would be an issue worth looking into.
I looked into it myself and in order for me to get plan B at MY prescription price (below $50) I would have to schedule a doctor's appointment. I work 40 hours a week and go to school full-time, that's unreasonable for me considering Plan B is only effective up to 5 days after the pregnancy. I can only imagine how unreasonable it would be for someone with a job AND kids (my routine is set in schedule, but with kids in the equation... you know how it is).
Of course some people are more fertile than others, plus there's factors such as weight, stress, medical conditions/drugs, age, etc.
But it's true, the average chance is around 15% at ovulation and drastically less any other time, I wouldn't lie to ya!!
I kind of wonder how the birthrate will be affected by the Plan B being available OTC. Actually I really, really wonder.
