The only test that would possibly be of help would be a chromosome analysis. We don't usually do those until after the 3rd miscarriage in a row. The tissue would not be any good for that now since it was put in the freezer, chromosomes will not grow. The only good way to store tissue for chromosomes is in a special solution of Serum and antibiotics.
