I would like to see a study where 4 year olds have ovulated and produced an embryo.
AKA Monet is actually correct in saying 4. I believe the earliest recorded pregnancy was with a girl around that age, obviously with some genetic abnormality which induced early sexual development.

If I'm not mistaken, the youngest girl that actually gave birth to a baby without miscarrying was 8. Again, due to some kind of early development issue.

I'll post the links to the stories when I have more time, but I'm sure a quick Google search would provide this information for you.
