Diagnosis
Many tests can help your doctor diagnose a miscarriage. These include:
– Ultrasound: This procedure looks for the heartbeat of the fetus and finds out whether it is developing properly.
– Pelvic exam: The doctor would exam the pelvic area to see whether the cervix has started to dilate during pregnancy.
– Tissue tests: A passed tissue could be analyzed in the lab to confirm the presence of a miscarriage.
– Chromosomal tests: People with 2 or more previous miscarriages need this test to know whether their chromosomes can be a risk factor.
– Blood tests: The doctor can check for the level of human chorionic gonadotropin and pregnancy hormone in the blood. [8]
