hyperfertility

Abnormally high reproduction

Hyperfertility is an unusually high capacity for reproduction—either conceiving more easily than average or producing more offspring per conception.

The term appears in medical contexts discussing fertility rates and in agricultural science regarding livestock or crops: The strain's hyperfertility made it ideal for breeding programs.

Sometimes used loosely to describe anyone who seems to get pregnant effortlessly.
