I was told by a consultant the risk drops to 3% - that was some years ago and I've no idea where they got the figure from!

Thanks

I now there is a statistics list floating around but as usual when i need it i cant find it !

IIRC the chance of a preg continuing is 97-98% if you see a HB at 7weeks.

Dr. Ashley Roman: Unfortunately, there really is no way to prevent a first trimester miscarriage, and it is the most frustrating thing about obstetrics. But, after ultrasound confirms your baby’s heartbeat at eight weeks, the risk of miscarriage is only about 3%. The risk falls even lower (1%) after a normal ultrasound at 16 weeks. (Overall, from conception, about 10 to 15% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.) Most pregnancy losses are diagnosed in the first trimester when a patient experiences bleeding or cramping. Many women may have no symptoms that the pregnancy has stopped progressing until a routine ultrasound examination indicates no heartbeat.
