I must say I find that an unbelievable statistic. Most references I can find on the Internet suggest much lower rates but the one from the WebMD.com is the one that quotes 50%. This is a bit misleading in a way because it reports that many miscarriages take place before the woman is aware that she is pregnant so I would ask how would that woman be able to report having a miscarriage under those circumstances? The article* goes on to say that 12 - 25% of "recognised pregnancies" end in miscarriage which is more realistic.
