A Comforting Statistic

A visible heartbeat could be seen and detectable by pulsed doppler ultrasound by about 6 weeks and is usually clearly depictable by 7 weeks. If this is observed, the probability of a continued pregnancy is greater than 83 percent.

I should be in good shape to see the heartbeat at my 8 week appointment and if we do, the chance of loss is dramatically reduced.
