Chances of becoming pregnant

Hello, I have read some statistics on the chances of becoming pregnant at 1 month (38%) 3 months (68%), 6 months (81%) and 12 months (92%).
I've been trying for 6 months. I got pregnant at 3 months which ended in a chemical. So I wonder if that resets the statistics and it's like I've been trying for 3 months, or should I be considering myself in the 19% not pregnant at 6 months? Not sure how worried I should be feeling. I'm 34 TTC #1.

Without sounding cruel does it really matter? you're not a statistic and your chances month to month don't really change much.

However, for the purposes of seeking NHS help and having to wait 12 months before doctors will do anything a miscarriage will reset that time. if you have three though that's another route

Like PP, I am not sure how dwelling on statistics matters. Focus on what you can control.
From NHS purposes I think you could ask about support after 12 months from when you started trying, but given you have had a pregnancy, they may ask you to wait longer before getting tests etc as I think it's 12 months with no pregnancy.
