What is this test?

This is a pregnancy-history entry, not a laboratory measurement. It records the date of the most recent previous pregnancy that did not result in a live birth, such as a miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy termination.

Why might I need this test?

Your clinician may review this date as part of your obstetric history, prenatal care, or assessment of pregnancy health. It can help provide continuity between visits and support care for a current pregnancy.

How is the test performed?

No blood or urine sample is required. The information is entered or confirmed from your medical record and pregnancy history, usually during an intake visit.

How do I prepare for the test?

There is no special preparation. Bring any available details or records that may help confirm the date and type of the prior pregnancy outcome.

Reference range

Adult: 10-40 U/LN/A

Specimen: serum

No special preparation required. Avoid fatty meals before the test if possible.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

This date is used for clinical and obstetric history rather than to diagnose a current condition. Your clinician may consider the circumstances of the prior outcome when planning prenatal care or evaluating pregnancy-related concerns. The date alone does not indicate the cause of the outcome or the health of a current pregnancy.
