most fertile couple ever?

Thought id add this as i find the make up of big families interesting and this lady is incredible!

Ive come across a large family mama online who is expecting her 12th baby (12 babies in 13 years), all single pregnancies and most of her babies have age gaps of 9-11months (it'll be 11 months between baby 11 and 12), she says she is typically pregnant again within 8-12 weeks of giving birth (including after her c-sections) and did say she hasnt had a real AF in over 10 years.
She breastfeeds exclusively and due to the tiny age gaps shes usually feeding 2 kids at a time but has fed 3 before. They are religious and dont use birth control.
Here's where it gets really interesting.. so far they have 8 boys!! and only 3 girls. I think they win the "most fertile couple ever" award!! Shes young-only 31 and if they keep going they could beat the Duggars and even the Radfords, Sue Radford had her 22nd this year at 45.

It’s so interesting isn’t it? I follow a family on Facebook. She and her husband are expecting number 9 I think? Her first is a boy, her youngest is a boy, and the rest are girls, including the one she’s expecting.

I would really like to study these megafamilies because I suspect that they will have more long runs of one gender or the other than would be statistically expected if gender was really 50-50 (by which I mean if it was all just a coin flip you'd expect a fairly standard distribution, but if these people are more likely to have long runs of one gender and long runs of another that is meaningful). I'd really like to have the resources to do that!!

i find them so interesting! this family has B,B,B,G,B,B,G,B,G,B,B (the gender of the next baby isnt known as shes team green) her body is amazing she sounds like she is just built to have babies. Her labours are an average of 30mins and she feels pressure but no pain, i think shes had 2 c-sections but now homebirths, she doesnt have any after pains (oh what i would give for this!!) and only bleeds for 4 days after.
Her last baby literally fell out in the bathroom after she thought she needed the toilet..no contractions, no pain, nothing!!

Well, that's really pretty even there, that one I can't chalk up to anything LOL

yes that would be amazing! My 5th birth was quite easy, I don't know if I'd gone on having babies, if it would have continued on like that.
