In my January 2016 birth month group,
@l4rk posted this shortly after we all started getting our BFPs and were therefore feeling anxious about potential loss. It was helpful to me see these numbers in black and white, so I'm copying her post word for word in hopes that it brings some peace of mind to my new July '17 buds.
Hello Ladies!
I've noticed that no matter how many times I look up miscarriages rates, I walk away feeling only slightly better (at best). I'm the kind of person who finds reassurance in statistics, but for some reason, all of the existing posts weren't doing it for me. And then I realized why: articles on miscarriage focus on the chances you're going to miscarry and all the comments share miscarriage stories--they don't focus on how many people DON'T have miscarriages and go on to have happy, healthy babies!
I adapted
this week-by-week chart and modified it so that it would focus on the positive rather than the negative! Since I found the positive spin benefiting my peace of mind, I thought it might benefit some of you too.
By the way, anyone in this January 2016 club already has a better chance of NOT having a miscarriage than having one... The numbers are on your side!

I have been trying to avoid articles online about other people who had a mc because it just makes me paranoid.

Mine too! Right now according to the chart I have a 14.40% chance of having a mc. So even though I know it's still possible, it helps me not freak out about every little thing.

Fx for awesome numbers on Monday. I know they seem low and scary but I have a friend who had low numbers like yours (30 or 33) and she now has a healthy smart 7 year old daughter.
