I know it's just a neat visual thing from over a decade ago at this point, but I highly doubt birth control only reduces it to 20%

Eh, sounds potentially correct. Birth control methods are 99% effective... if perfectly used. And plenty of people simply do not use it perfectly, either misusing condoms or missing pills.

20% does seem high but it's likely higher than you think it is.

My aunt was a case of trying to have one but couldn't... then got pregnant with a condom, and on the pill, the same day their adoptive son came to live with them. Being cristains we all just saw this as God's will, and it's for the best as their son's birth mother tried to suffocate him, was a raging alcoholic, etc.

Editing the first sentence of the trope - I would consider making it say "The fertility of a couple is inversely proportional to their desire AND/OR ABILITY to have a child."

It's entirely possible that I'm missing some joke, but the graph showing a 0% chance of pregnancy for virgins in real life is rage-inducing. Did someone miss basic sex education?

You're missing some joke. The graph is obviously referring to women who get pregnant while remaining virgins.

Just have to share that that "infirtle" is driving me up the wall. I'm almost tempted to copy it, open it in MS Paint, correct the spelling, reupload it... Almost.
