First trimester(1-12): 20-25% chance 40-45% chance for women with infertility. 1 in 4 pregnancies end up in mc due to abnormality in egg or sperm...
Second trimester(13-27): 5-10% as viability of fetus and heartbeat decreases miscarriage. Any miscarriage before 22weeks (24 in some countries) is due to an infection or other unknown circumstances... But after 24weeks there are 50% chance of saving childs life which is called pre term labor...

Third trimester(28-40): 1% chance as i said there are more chances of saving babys life...

However according to doctors if heartbeat is seen as early as 6 weeks miscarriage chances drop to 1% which is not entirely true...

Thats y i dont really believe doctors because anything is possible at any stage of pregnancy... Stay safe n take cares...

Usually going into the 2nd trimester, my doctor told me at 12 weeks the chance of miscarriage is very slim!
