Testing after a miscarriage

How testing after a miscarriage works.

We use genetic testing and micro-CT imaging, read together by specialists. Your report comes by email.

The whole process

Every step, from the Clearity Care box to your report.

When genetic testing finds no clear cause, we add micro-CT imaging.

  1. Before or after a loss

  2. 1

    Get the Clearity Care box

    Order it here, or receive it from your healthcare provider. You pay online and receive your Inclusion Number by email right after.

  3. 2

    Register and collect at home

    Register online with your Inclusion Number. The guide then takes you through each step, one at a time.

  4. 3

    Bring it to Amsterdam UMC

    Keep the jar in the fridge, then bring the Clearity Care box to the Emergency Department, location AMC, day or night.

  5. 4

    Genetic testing

    We look for chromosomal and genetic causes, using the tissue and a few drops of blood from each parent.

    Cause found: 6. No clear cause: 5.

  6. 5

    Micro-CT imaging

    A 3D scan shows how your baby developed, without cutting the tissue.

  7. 6

    Specialist review

    Specialists in embryology, imaging and genetics look at all findings together.

  8. Your report

    By email: what we found, and what it may mean for a future pregnancy.

The technology

Genetics and 3D imaging, read together.

Most tests look at genetics only. We add a 3D scan of the tissue.

What your report tells you

  • What we found.
  • What it may mean for a future pregnancy.
  • What we could not find, and why that matters too.
The cover page of a sample report: who it is for, a short summary, the five sections with their pages, and your contact.

Questions before you order.

Which miscarriages is the box for?

The Clearity Care box is for miscarriages between 6 and 24 weeks. Later in pregnancy, we discuss the diagnostic examination with you directly, with our medical team.
