I was not making an issue of the fact that I couldn't conceive after coming off the pill. My point was, even though I was still following MY normal 28 day cycle, I could't conceive until that cycle once again put my fertile quarter at the 3rd quarter of the Moon, actually, I think it is 1 or two days before 3rd quarter, I'd have to check my notes.

No, you're saying you
didn't. You are then making the assumption that it means you couldn't, despite the fact that a lot of women take time to conceive after coming off the Pill, regardless of when their cycle is. I personally have never been on the Pill, due to my bad memory about taking pills at the same time every day. (Other people are more likely to remember that I should take my meds!)
The fact remains that you said that, if all women had the same cycle, all births would happen at the same time, and that simply isn't true. Too many factors, including external ones, control gestation. Heck, my mother had all three of us C-section. (Narrow pelvic opening.) If there were some reason all women normally had their babies during the same week or so, I'd schedule planned C-sections for those other times, simply to lighten my load a little.

Oh, and just so you know, they say smoking causes low birth weight too. I have smoked through 7 pregnancies and each baby just got bigger and bigger, even though my body is designed for smaller than average. During the pregnancies that I wasn't under undue stress in any way and the doctor didn't interfer I delivered within a week of due.

It does. You got lucky. More importantly, so did your children. I hope they'll have more sense than to gamble with the lives of their children.
