Di, I think a "Fertile Myrtle" is neither a compliment or a dis. It's a biological statement.

My sister could get pregnant at the drop of a hat, er...I mean sp***. She was pregnant all the time, but only carried one child full term. I, have never been pregnant. Both by choice and by accident.

I, mostly, chose to not have children. You know the t-shirt that states, "Oops, I forgot to have children"? It's kinda me. I never wanted children, biologically or emotionally, and it just never happened.

I did adopt a grandchild, however. And I am in the teaching field. If you want to be around children, it's possible. It's not the same as HAVING children, I know, but it is rather nice having only the fun part.
