I would still like to know what testing you'd perform on such a situation. My OB/GYN only tested the fetus tissue because I've asked, and they have not recommended any more testing because this was my first miscarriage. Because it seems to have been more an issue with my body (not a misformed fetus) what tests are available that I might ask for? I've heard low progesterone is a cause and I should be tested upon my next pregnancy. Do you agree and are there other tests to be performed now or with the next pregnancy? Thanks.
