Laboratory testing of pregnancy tissue, often to look at chromosomes.

Testing may be offered after recurrent miscarriage to help explain a loss. It is not routinely offered after every miscarriage. Ask how the tissue will be handled and what options exist for sensitive disposal.

Also known as: cytogenetic testing, POC testing
