>Should the products of pregnancy be collected for examination? If so, in Mary- Thanks for the nice post! You pose an interesting question (translated: I'm not sure of the answer). I don't routinely send 1st trimester miscarriage material for genetic analysis (after all, why pay hundreds of dollars to tell me there's a chromosomal problem when that's *exactly* the number 1 cause of 1st trimester losses)! However, all such "products of conception" should be examined to make sure there's no other abnormalities, such as a "molar pregnancy." So, I would suspect it could be collected in a sealed container, and placed in the refrigerator until the next morning, but since I'm unsure, I'll try to talk with someone in the pathology department tomorrow (in-between surgeries). If anybody else knows, please jump in and give me a hand! Thanks, Ashley
