Products of conception testing

Genetic testing of pregnancy tissue after a loss.

Pregnancy loss

Testing pregnancy tissue can show whether a chromosomal abnormality caused the miscarriage. A clear chromosomal cause is, in a difficult way, reassuring about future pregnancies. Testing is not always available or successful, and you may need to ask for it specifically.

Also known as: POC testing, miscarriage tissue testing
