If you miscarry more than once, your doctor may request that you collect some of the passing tissue for laboratory examination. These tests will assist in determining whether there are any hereditary or other health issues, such as hormone imbalances, that may be addressed or monitored to help avoid a future miscarriage. Do not worry if this does not happen immediately following a loss. Many women do not feel like they have recovered from losing a baby until they have been without one for a few months. It is important to take time to process your feelings and to know that what you go through after each loss is normal.
