You did not discuss implantation. My impression is that implantation is the sine qua non of establishing a pregnancy. I also understand, perhaps mistakenly, that it is not automatic and that it frequently fails resulting in death of the embryo and no pregnancy. I would appreciate your comments.
Yes, implantation is a necessary step. Implantation failure is often a problem with the embryo (such as aneuploidy) but it can also result from problems with the mother's uterus.
I'd be interested to know the stats on miscarriage vs. gestational week. For example, what's the probability a fetus will make it to full term past 13 weeks?
it looks like about 96-98% of fetuses that make it to 13 weeks will be born alive. (If you're specifically asking about full term birth you'd have to subtract the rate of premature birth though.)
omggg! yay about the post!! Although, I wish you posted this before the election because, I have a feeling, some people didn't realize what they were voting against...
