Not necessarily. As others have pointed out, she could be getting periods but still be infertile.

when i read it, i assumed she'd become infertile because of the wolf issue, the body being frozen in time. I'd never thought about whether she was able to have children before the transformation?

I think that, the way Leah views things, she's a wolf because she's infertile- not the other way around.

How do you manage to think of the answers to all my questions? :lol: Almost as if you're thinking the complete opposite to me all the time, which is good cos at least I have an answer and another thing to think about :D

Does there has to be a reason, that Leah is the only female werewolf? Maybe it's just a coincidence.. I mean, there isn't a reason why the others become werewolves, is there? Except of course that they have the gene's from their fathers or something. I mean, shouldn't Leah always had to have that werewolf gene? Only that just now, when the Cullens appeared, it 'woke up' as it was with the others, and she became a werewolf..? Because being a werewolf has all to do with gene's, according to the stories which are told. And you can't get a gene one day.. so it had to be there since she was born. And I think there is a very small posibility that she has been infertile from her birth.. Or am I totally wrong now? :roll:

Well considering that she's the first female shapeshifter since, well, ever- there has to be a reason for it.

It should be pointed out that, "One in a million fluke," is, in fact, a reason. It could have been mere chance. As I said before, there's nothing indicating that shapeshifters get a USB plug-in to Fate.

This is true, and yet it seems to me to be more than just a fluke. Consider that not only is Leah the first female shapeshifter, she's also got an ability over and beyond the norm for shapeshifters (her speed). Also consider that there are still an unknown number of boys in the reservation, any or all of which could have the "gene" in them. In fact, by the confrontation in BD, there are new wolves in the mix.

So why then does Leah get handed this fate? The reason that makes the most sense in my mind is that SM needed someone who could somehow relate to Jacob's inner turmoil. The only other triangle we've seen is Sam/Emily/Leah. The split of the Pack would mean Sam is out (not to mention he's entirely too happy with Emily), and thus Emily is out, leaving Leah. Oh, but Leah's just a normal human girl- how would she relate given she doesn't know of the supernatural?

My thought that was they could only imprint on people with either 24 chromosones or have the most potential.

Like Emily is related to Leah, who is a wolf. And Claire is related to Emily. Renesmee has 24 chromosones anyway, Rachel is Jakes sister, and Kim is Quilete.
