I understand, but the point remains. There are women out there who wont discover that they are pregnant till 8 weeks.From everything I have ready around 50% of all abortions happen around 7-8 weeks or before.
"Overall, 36% of these pregnant people took their pregnancy test at 6 weeks gestation or more and 21% did so at 7 weeks or more."
Many forms of birth control are 90 to 97% effective, but as Hugh Grant so famously said in the movie Nine Months, "So 3% bloody ineffective, they should put that on the box!" So a woman could be on birth control, still get pregnant, have a light period the first month (yes, absolutely, you can still have a small period when you are pregnant. There is also something called "implantation blood" which can sometimes be mistaken for a period), then find out at 8 -9 weeks that she's pregnant.
Sorry about you luck sweety. Nothing you can do about it. Law says 7 weeks....
