Except evidence does not show that there are many more people trying and failing for kids as in past decades, so much as more people are delaying partnering up and having kids till later and later, along with many opting to be childless.

And most fertility issues people do encounter can primarily be explained by attempting to have children decades later than is biologically optimal.

Chemical pollution could do that. We see it in other animals. Endocrine disruptors and stuff.

Sperm count is an easy-to-measure proxy, independent of the will of people to have children, that shows something is going bad, fast, everywhere.
