Comforting statistics

I've sworn to DH that I'll stop it with the stats, but I can't help it! I found this, which is really comforting:

It tells you the risk of miscarriage at each point in your pregnancy.

At 1-2 weeks (You do not know you are pregnant) - 75% (this includes eggs that never grow past fertilization, and it would have been impossible to know you were pregnant; after implantation, which occurs 7-10 days after ovulation, the odds go down to 31%)

3-6 - 10% (after home urine test is positive at 14 days post ovulation when hCG levels reach 50-80)

6-12 - 5% (or less if heartbeat heard)

Re: Comforting statistics

I'm glad you guys found it as comforting as I did. We have to remember that the VAST MAJORITY of pregnancies end with a healthy baby! Our bodies WANT to do this! and do it right!

Re: Comforting statistics

Thanks!!! I read in one of my books that instead of focusing on the fact that you have a 10-15% chance of miscarrying you should focus on the opposite and realize that you have basically an 85% chance of everything being perfectly fine!! I keep trying to focus on that 85%.
